Its no different than if he pulled 20 people over for speeding/illegal exhaust/altered suspension/etc after the autoX. anytime you have an event with cars you are gonna have a certain segment of people that are immature and do not know how to act right with their vehicals…it sucks for you if u are adult enough and mind ur own business and get sucked up but thats the chance you take if you have illegal stuff on ur car. The cop wasting tax money by wasting his time writing fix it tickets at an autocross instead of doing something productive to the county and maybe stopping a real crime. ---

I agree with everything said about the cop end. The thing I disagree with, and the point I’m trying to make is… there is nothing specificaly saying tint, in and of itself, is illegal. Nadda, nowhere. It says not being able to see inside the car is illegal. That’s why cops are being dicks. They are enforcing something that in a higher court isn’t enforcable. Catch me speeding. Fine. That is written law. They can spend all day pulling people over in the 25mph zones and make a fortune. Pull me for tint when they can’t even explain the law itself, and it will get overturned based on that fact… that ain’t cool. ---

> From above: > “btw the pa law that’s posted aboveisnt current as far how I read it out of ? officers book, which stated (paraphrasing) regardless of the window, or percentage, IF film is applied to ANY window at ANY Percent it is to be considered a violation of state inspection code.” > Which it is not. Tint passes inspection. There is nothing stating that tint will fail state inspection. We need an inspection handbook to assist in this debate, window tint fails inspection, its at the discretion of the inspecting station to allow it, the station does not need to enforce it, i think it was 12 years ago when it changed to being allowed to pass BUT still failable (if thats a word). Heres the thing, I don’t remember what the officer showed me in his book 2 years ago, i just remember what it meant. So i took a ride to the local police station today, I spoke with an officer who explained that side rear windows were okay, then another officer walked in and said NO WINDOWS are Allowed, they began to debate this matter, after a few minute of very entertaining conversation concerning what the law stated (Which was laying on the table in front of the 3 of us) The 1st officer stated “See this is why i would never stop somebody for tint unless its totally blacked out” Then the 2nd Officer stated “Its a matter of officer safety, If its not factory you cannot have it” By the way i asked if window tint “Sun screening device” was a primary offense or secondary" to which they both agreed Primary, Now I followed that up with “Seat belts, Primary or secondary” to my surprise an officer can not stop you for driving without your seat belt as a primary offense… but he can for driving past with tinted windows, lol ---
