They can't do that. But if you have like limo tint and he was a ***** that can lead to a long asschewing by the side of the road. Once I had to sit there and scrape the tint off a window by the side of I55 like 6 years ago. He had me do that for about 20 minutes.

dont know about where you are but thats not too bad. In SC tint ticket is $257. Will your car get towed for it, no, can it, yes. If you get stopped by the same cop for tint again plan to go to jail and have your ride towed.

I don't know if it changed in IL, but when I lived there, you could go as low as limo tint in the back, but not touch the fronts. I had 5% all around in IL for about a week until I moved out here. I didn't get pulled over, but I got stared down by a lot of cops.

Only the 70% factory tint is legal for front side windows.

Yeah, 35% front is what it is here, but I drove with 5% all around for a year here, and then 20% all around, which 20% probably wasn't that much noticeably darker than 35%
