Default Re: Ticket for Tint

In most states, they can pull you over for this. I was pulled over "just to see if it was applique and not factory. Even though it was within the opacity rules, applied tints, post factory, are forbidden here in MO. there were so many people who fought this tactic that the law was more or less in limbo for about a year. Supreme court ruled and now they come at you with a vengance.
My 300 SDL came out of Texas with a baked on after market tint that looks so good, you have to scratch it with a blade to tell. Cops have done it three times to prove it's not factory. Then they cited my mechanic for passing the state inspection. He couldn't tell they were applique. Car is only 3 years from 25 year classic plates & excemption but the windows are fracked.

They pull you over for the tint or because the tint prevents them from seeing if you have your seat belt on.

I'm sorry but IT'S DUMB!
