Tinted windows- Anyone?
 
Hey,

Anyone have tinted windows? Here all the guys are putting tint on- even real dark.
I asked a CHP and he said NO, NO, NO !! Not even lite legal tint. He said it is a $100 manditory fine- not a fix it ticket and one point on your record. I dont believe that to be true .. where does it say that?:confused:

hey pink nice transfer. I sold my transfer a couple of years ago to a guy in SF. Here in NM you can have a light tint, If its to dark though DOT will fine you $150

State laws differ on the amount of tint they will allow. It is good to check with them to make sure you are in compliance.

Not sure what the rules are here in CA - but I plan to have mine tinted 50%

I got a $140 ticket in SC four years ago at a road side insp. by a transport officer. he said if it was from the factory it was legal, but since it was added later it was not. It was a very light tint. I called the court where my ticket was to be paid and the judge backed him up. I paid the ticket by mail, I still don't know if I could of beat it.

So youre telling me if say my state allows 50% and I go to another state and its only 30% there, they have the right to give me a ticket?

Oh yeah, and Michigan is about the most strict! Not just the front but sides and back too. You will be ticketed every time they stop you here.

Thats not right in so many ways!!!! I dont care if another state likes it or not, if I got a ticket in another state because my tint was to dark but it was ok in my state I would get a lawyer because its not like its something you can just pull off, its like those black covers you put on your head lights and tail lights on your auto at home, some states will let you run at night with them on and some will not but you can just pull them off, no big deal.

States rights! That's why the Civil War started.

I had a tint ticket in KS. 1st scale going N on I35. He says 5% is legal. I had 35%.

Cure: roll window down when going through scales!

My oldman has 20% on his pete for the past 2 years no problems.
