No question about it.
As Marc has stated. New York State/City Police (I am sure other states are using the same reasoning) want to be able see what's going on inside of vehicles. My windows are not tinted for safety reasons, I believe here in Virginia the limit is 30% and the front windshield and rear windshield cannot be tinted. Our cars have limited visibility, especially the Roadsters why would you want to compromise the situation more.
