Am i the only person that thinks it is a dickhead move for a cop to whip his unit around and pull a person over just for window tint. I can understand if a person is speeding or comes up to a seat belt check and has dark windows, but to be driving the speed limit not doing a dang thing wrong and get pulled over just for having dark windows in my eyes is ridiculous

If you don't want to suffer the consequences don't break the law. You could have been doing drugs in there

As someone who used to have 5% all around on my Yukon, it's just dumb. There's no reason to have your windows tinted more than stock unless you have a medical condition.

The law may be stupid, but it's a pretty damn easy law not to break.

Fight it on the grounds that pulling a person over for ONLY tint doesn't meet the required standard for a stop. Since the officer has no way to know if you have a legal exception, he's assuming you might be breaking the law and he stops you find out if he's correct. It's not totally unlike officers stopping open carriers to check if they're felons "just in case."

Of course, you don't have a constitutional right to window tinting unlike carrying a gun, so you'll probably lose. But if you do fight it on these grounds please update with how it turns out. I'm genuinely curious.

This is true and i get that, but come on man to whip a unit around through 4 lanes of traffic, i think he is trying to get his quota in early for the month

Seeing the types of cars that have super dark window tint, I don't believe this at all.

I am going to get it fixed regardless, but it still is just some BS to me, but i guess i will pull off the limo on the front and put 35% and maybe they will let that go

At least you don't have to wonder if you're trashy.

Window tint is trashy. Should have spent that money on truck nuts.
