I didn't really think I'd get all the hostile responses. I just wanted to know if anyone else in VA has gotten stopped for 35% tint..

I think you'd be upset too if you got a ticket for something as pointless as window tint. Then again, maybe not...

We got some Narcs in here. Heh..





34% front, 17% rear. Got the ticket, paid it and called it a day. Did not try to argue it at all. It is not worth it. I have heard several stories of people trying to argue with cops over tint and the cop gives them the option of tearing off the tint there on the street or getting the car impounded.

Impounded car is definately not worth a $35.00 ticket and NO points.

P.S. The reason it is 50% front and 35% rear has to do with the fact that a number of years back, a VA state trooper was conducting a routine stop on a car with very dark windows. The trooper could not see in the car too well and when he got to the drivers window, he was shot dead by the driver (or passenger, can't remember). So we have limits on tint % for the cops safety not ours.
