I got pulled pulled over by a trooper on 90 west yesterday for my tint. He metered it and it read 50. He said the legal limit is 70 so I was close and he’s not gonna bust my balls and he let me go. I thought the legal limit was 30. Can anyone clarify? ---

Cool, thanks. This was the G8 so its 70% for the front and rear windows So my fronts are too dark. And my rears are even darker, so they are illegal too. I have been warned a couple times in the past, but this was the first time they have been metered. Now I know. ---

I got pulled over on 90 in the beginning of the summer with my G8 for tint and other stuff. Had 5% all around… Tickets. ---

Get pulled over for tint, fill out a fix it form signed by a cop. Never a ticket. Fronts still match my rear windows at 20%
