Louisiana Window tint laws
Front Windshield: Non-reflective tint is allowed above the manufacturer’s AS-1 line or top 5 inches.
Front seat side windows: up to 40% tint darkness allowed
Back seat side windows: up to 12% tint darkness allowed
Rear window: up to 12% tint darkness allowed
No idea what 5% mentioned is.
What do you mean that you mistakenly out 35 or whatever. The tint shop is suppose to inform you.

5% refers to how much light is blocked by the tint, when i say front windows i mean driver and passenger side windows.
i was not referring to a visor like strip going across the top of the windshield
40-50% is limo tint, you cant see through that shite with a 1m candle power spotlight so im not sure what you think you mean by 40%

You pay a personal property tax on vehicles in Mississippi. If the car is newish, it may cost him hundreds every year for a few years.

The percentages used in tint represent VLT (Visible Light Transmission). Not that cockamanie shite you just made up. Limo tint is 2.5% or 5%.

where i get inspection stickers they check my tint with a meter, i have decent tint like wearing sunglasses on my front windows and it reads it under 5%. she said 5% or higher reading fails and you get no sticker.
whatever that meter she has reads it was under 5% is all i know

I’ve had 20% down my windshield before, but never went lower. 5% is crazy.

it’s like the 5th level of hades from the heat in south LA so my tint makes a huge difference
On the new Ceramic tints, the darkness doesn't really matter. They block the same heat regardless of the level of darkness.

New ceramics are awesome. Just got 5 all around and 50 full windshield on my new truck. Incredible how much cooler my cab stays throughout the day

roll sticker -less and hope for the best
Cheaper than an expired sticker and I don't think they care if you don't have a sticker. My brother got pulled over a month or so ago the cop looked for the inspection sticker, didn't see one, and never said a word about it. Don't remember why he got pulled over but they let him go with a warning.

I’ve been told the same by an officer I was playing golf with.
Fine is less for no sticker than it is for expired inspection. Also, if you roll through a checkpoint and don’t have one, they’ll likely just assume you’re from out of state. By the time you pass and they see your LA plates, I doubt they’ll chase you down.

Roll up with your windows down. Amateur

Go to a different shop. Many places don’t care. Try one in the hood

Louisiana law is 40% light transmission. Since your factory windows likely already block 3% you cannot get 40% tint and be legal.
You have to go the next step up in tint and get 50%, plus the 3% your car windows comes with, leaves you effectively at 47% light transmission. If you put on 40% tint you will be illegal at 37%.
And you live in a "free" country.
