My husband just got pulled over for tinted windows at lunch time while picking up our daughter at daycare. The officer was finishing writing someone else a ticket and spots the FX at a stop sign. So my husband signals left and drives off s l o w l y noticing that the officer is hurriedly getting in his cruiser. One block down the road he (the cop) is racing up from behind and my husband figures he is trying to see what kind of car it is. Then the lights come on. So the cop comes up and they exchange pleasantries,
and the cop states the reason I’m stopping you is for tinted windows, but I have no intention of ticketing you.” He then produces a tint measuring device. He then proceeds to tell me the law says 20% tint and I told him that is what the tint shop sold me.
(All my husband is thinking is don’t ask for proof of ins cuz its at home)
So he proceeds to measure the front driver window and says it reads 12% and that is +or- 2% plus the oem tint of 2% so rounding up to about 16% so he said that was ok. Then my husband says while you are here lets measure the back windows too. The back window reads 6.6%.
He then says this car smells good and how new is it? Then he said something about individual officers’ interpretation of the law and 20% front windows or 20% any window.
