    Not to diss officers as a whole but I seem to meet the stupid ones when I ask for information they should know. Example...I asked a cop if there were any rules pertaining to moving my firearms from Montana to Alabama. The officer began arresting me for illegally transporting firearms across state lines. Luckily, another cop asked him what the Hell he was donig, apologized for the incident and gave me some free VIP passes for the senior bowl.

      tintcenter.com states that side windows have to let 70% of the lights through. I just got a ticket for my windows, upon research on the CHP website it says NO tint is legal on the side windows.

          TINT

          Wisconsin is gay! The tint laws around here state 50% in the front. 35% in the rear. Well on my old grand am I had 35% all around. I got pulled over by a state trooper for not displaying my front license plate and he wanted to bust me for my tint too. He took out his tint meter and stated that my windows came up 32% in the front. Well out came my doctors note and I got away from it even though I was supposed to go get a better note made

          Well I picked up my G6 on a Friday night that Monday it was already in the shop getting tinted and I went with 35% all around again. I would of been busted with my tint once again but the last two times I gotten pulled over was in my mom's sunfire

            I looked into it and here in Vancouver you can have 5% on the rear window and side widows if it's a sedan.

            Coupes aren't allowed any side window tint.

            I've got 50% on My G6 and haven't had any problems....yet

            I had 2 warnings issued to me for my last vehicle. I had a Celica that was imported from the US. Both times going through a roadblock (a very slow night I think) and both times they said get rid of it or it's a 500$ ticket. They claim tint gives people a way to conceal a weapon and that's why it's illegal for driver and passenger side widows.

            Fingers crossed.

              Does anyone know the laws for tinting in Ontario, Canada? I checked the Ministry of Transportation webpage and could not find anything.

                            Im in delaware and i just went on the Motor Vehicle website, and printed out a window tint waiver. I just had to take it to family Dr. had him fill out his part of the paperwork, filled in my vehicle info and took to DMV to have the noterize it. Now I can (and still occasionally do) get pulled over, but no fines or anything from it. they wont put a notation on your registration since they use it (tint violation) for a probable cause stop. Most cops are surprised that i have it and its filled out and tell me sorry have a good day. Ive only had 1 cop who actually got pissed off, and gave me a hardtime about it, till i told him give me the ticket and (5% on all sides and back, 35% on entire windshield and 5% visor layered over that. *visor was done to pull attention off the windshield tint*)

                              soooooooooo two nights ago I found out from a cop the local limit for tints is 23%.....while I was getting pulled over and searched and all that nonesense us youngins have to deal with..... Mine are 13%, funny thing is the ticket was for speeding (BS) not for the tints (even though the cop said "yeahhh buddy yours are illegal")

                                What helps alot is if the cop can't really tell how dark it is... if you see one riding around or your about to get pulled over roll atleast your front windows down and side your sunroof cover open to let a much light as possible in. Helps alot trust me! If they ask how dark it is, the best answer is "It was on the car when I bought it" and they will usually take it easy on ya. But you can always tell if a cops had a bad day.. and then your just fuked. I got pulled over one time in a totally blacked out suv and this cop must have been on HIS period, he ticketed me for everything he could come up with, I think he even pulled out a violation guide
