Just got pulled over by the DPS
I got pulled over twice for my window tint when I had my SS...never got a ticket though.
I got a few tickets for no front license plate as well....waste of paper cause each time mine were dismissed
Ok so i had a similar question..i went down to a local tint place and asked what was legal, told him that i heard 20 was good...he said no...lol...he busts out with a calculator and tells me, from the factory the window has a 7% rating so u subrtract 7 from 35 (the film) and u get 28%....so if u put 20% thinking its legal u arent taking into account the stock 7%...dont know if its true or not but thats what i was told...I used to run 2 layers of tint and got pulled over alot thats why i had to ask.

Maybe I read it wrong, whatever.
We should give the officer a gold star for making sure someones window tint was legal. **** those other people breaking the law.

I got a ticket the same day I baught my car it had 5% on it and when I asked the officer what was the correct % I could have he said it was 20% but when I went to court I asked the judge and he told me it was 35% so I was confused but I followed what the juged said and put 35% which sucks because my girl friend is alergic to the sun an burns real quick and that 5% helped her a lot now it hurts her.

The DPS loves to pull these cars over and do illegal searches. They were really messing with me hard for a while. I have dark tint and I just roll my windows down all the way and take out the keys. They didn't like that and it became a routine thing to get pulled over and searched. To prevent this I put a rattlesnake in a box in the hatch area. The next time that I got pulled over a trooper asked me if he could search my car. I told him no. He did it anyway and lucky for him he was pretty quick to close the lid. The DPS does not mess with me anymore.
