They need no reason, they ARE the reason.
As I ... ahem ... learned when I drove to check out my SRT with my wife in her Charger that she got from her son, southern plates and tint. I got a taste of DWB, Pennsylvania style on MLK Day.
Picked up a county mounty tailgater on I-76 and when I turned onto one of the US routes instead of going on the Turnpike, the guy lit us up.
Had you seen the expression on the guy's pasty face as he got out to write us up, you'd have thought he was going to bust a john and his "date". That thought did not leave his head even as he looked vacantly at our papers, including my HSPD12 and her business card listing her Ph.D and executive position at a local institution.
Fortunately her employers have a full time law enforcement official on payroll whose sole job is to liase with area agencies and avoid these, um, misunderstandings. They know the history of poli sci from Boss *** to Sheriff Joe.
With his cheese-eating grin, all he could muster was that "tinted windows are illegal in Pennsylvania".
Fully one third of the vehicles we passed the rest of the way from limos to pickup trucks and compacts with PA plates also had tinted windows
