What % of cars in BTR area are in violation of tint laws?

Current Louisiana tint laws below, I say 20% of all cars I see violate this. And 99% of the 20% are complete maniacs and likely criminals IMHO. Thoughts?
Tint darkness for sedans:
Windshield: Non-reflective tint is allowed above the manufacturer’s AS-1 line or top 5 inches.
Front Side windows: Must allow more than 40% of light in.
Back Side windows: Must allow more than 25% of light in.
Rear Window: Must allow more than 12% of light in.
Tint darkness for SUV and vans:
Windshield: Non-reflective tint is allowed above the manufacturer’s AS-1 line or top 5 inches.
Front Side windows: Must allow more than 40% of light in.
Back Side windows: Any darkness can be used.
Rear Window: Any darkness can be used.

Tint laws are some of the most retarded in existence.

By saying this, do you even know why tiny laws are in place?

I am guilty of breaking Louisiana state law for this. However, I am not registered in Louisiana, so there's that.
I can say the darker the tint, along with the metallic (ceramic) or whatever is in it (3M's best product) makes a huge difference. Don't get me wrong, it's still hot, but it's so much better than not having tint or minimal tint shade because of laws.

I doubt mine would pass LA tint laws. But it’s just factory tint.

To generate revenue for the locals?
Don’t pretend they’re actually about police safety.

Guess I’m a complete maniac and criminal then. Arrest me grandpaw
Maybe it’s because I don’t want the Broome Rouge poors looking in my vehicle or so I can get guilt free road head. Both are reasonable

Most inspection places don't check it. I've had my truck for over 6 years and I'm pretty sure my front window tint is illegal. The truck was traded with a dealership in Texas IIRC. You can drive around BR with no license plate if you want to.

Just got 20…it shouldn’t be illegal.

Out of all the vehicles in the world you chose that one?

Before it became the fad, I never realized how useful it is from a safety point of view to be able to see the face of other drivers and whether they have noticed your car in a variety of potentially dangerous driving situations
Eta: I have a friend who stopped driving his motorcycle for this reason. Just couldn't tell if the car at a stop sign was going to pull out in front of him

I think Brake tags are the dumbiest thing ever! It’s all a money grab!
Window tint is the first thing I do to any new vehicle.

Mine is. It's a stupid law, so I choose to ignore it.

Most factory tinted glass is 20%, so I'd up that to 60-70%.
Why are you boot licking though? It's too hot outside for that.

Tint laws are bullshite.
I get 5% all around. Just like the police do.
