tints so those of you with all around tints...how often have you gotten pulled for it or is it a complete non-issue? i've bee thinkin about something fairly dark for a while but i'm just a little cautious, especially since apparently around here cops have nothing to do but find a reason to pick off a punk *** teenager like myself (had one follow me from my street today all the way to the gas station, u-turn and all)

Well I'm over in NJ and cops only pull people over if their driving like idiots, I've never been pulled for JUST my tint. I have 20% on the side windows and 5% on the back. CA is probably alil stricter.

Yeah I live in michigan and it depends what city I'm in. In the city I live they pull over JUST for tints and in the city I commute to everyday they will never pull over for only tints so i just roll my windows down in the city i live in. and if you have light tint no one bothers you but ive only ever had 5% so ive gotten pulled over like 4 to 5 times

Ive only been pulled over once in my life for "tint" Ive been pulled over other times, then the tint issue comes up after there standing by the car. But I dont get pulled over enough or harassed enough to not tint my windows dark

ive been pulled over once for 5% tint, it was a state trooper, he just pulled me over, said my tint was too dark, checked my record and seen it was clean, and told me to have a nice day.. so i dunno. that was the only time ive been bothered for tint, in the 3 years ive had it.

Too many citations...don't give a damn. A state trooper pulled me over on my way to the gym one day, took out his meter and told me 4.9%! I laughed and kept my tint on.

i have 10% here in OKC and no one ever says anything. the only time they pull you over is if your windshield is less then 50% most of the time. been pulled over but they never ask about the tint.

so ur saying in cali they don't even bother with a fine, they just tell u to take it off? seems like that's worse than the fine...
