Anyone Pulled Over For Window Tinting?

[Ken in Miami]

let the lesson here be to never assist an officer with his investigation. They are not your friends. Laws against window tinting are utter tyrannical nonsense. I haven't seen a police cruiser in over a decade that didn't have limo tint all the way around.

If you want to have tint outside of the "legal" amount, make an appointment with an eye doctor and tell them you have light sensitivity and you are looking to tint your vehicle to help you with that problem.

That is a great idea and I looked it up just now. It was recommended by window tint companies here in Florida.

Was stopped by a FL Sheriff on the highway for front windshield tint. Said he couldnt see me from his rearview mirror so he slowed and allowed me to pass him before he pulled me over. Only pulled me for tint as I was below speed limit whole time. Said tint can only come down top third to line on window. Below that is illegal. Got ticket. Said to remove, bring ticket to any law enforcement to verify, they sign ticket, no fine. Just the cost to remove tint. Now by CT is boiling hot in the FL sun.

I too have my entire windshield tinted very dark and after reading a response to this thread about the medical condition for light sensitivity, I think that’s the best way to go because I do not want to remove my tint. . It’s too hot of a windshield.

I would have challenged that in court by asking the judge to throw the case out based on probable cause alone.
