tint ticket

[boardjnky4]

In NC, they check the window tint as part of the safety inspection.

From what I am told, police officer protection is a big part of tint laws.

theres alot of confusion about tint law in this thread.

. im currently looking into seeing if i can qualify for the exemption for tinted windows as the sun and bright lights does infact bother me. for those curious, with the exemption you can only have 35% tints.

how do you go about that, i have extremely sensitive eyes, i cannot walk out of the house without sunglasses even on the gloomy days

Good luck, I tried 3 Optometrists with no luck. I had a boss that had the special permit, however…he blacked out every window on every car he owned…granted he needed it. Doc’s kept saying its reserved for someone with actual “conditions” haha

Act nice and polite. Seriously lol

Only a couple local cops have ever written me up. Most say “have a nice day.” All the rest would come from troopers on the 290 which is automatic tix. Every time I went to the local PD, asked for a court date, showed up, and the DA dropped it w/o even seeing a judge.

Never argue and don’t say the wrong thing

NYS Health Department regulations specify that only the following medical conditions can be used to justify an exemption from
the limits on light transmittance:
porphyria
xeroderma pigmentosa
severe drug photo-sensitivity

good luck walking in to the doctor’s and trying to convince them you have any of these… unless you show up looking like the late michael jackson.

I had to pay over 10 Window tint tickets in my escort. There was never a time when it was under $100. I think, after surcharges its about $150/window. I’ve been stopped by troopers on I-90, Buffalo State College campus PD, small town cops from my home town area (Doesnt pay to drive the rice-mobile I guess) Only once did I have them write me a ticket for 2 windows, which I paid the fines anyways, every other time they just used the meter (usually on my drivierside front) then just wrote the ticket for that one. I was threatened with being given tickets for all 5 (windsheild strip was like 7" as well) but that never ended up happening

I had 17%…god I loved them, but now I also love not getting pulled over on a weekly basis

So it is $150/window. Damn. Your car looked good with em though!

@sedlmeier101

LEOs in southern states seem to have NO problem identifying individuals in vehicles with dark windows… that’s not an excuse… I’ve stopped many vehicles with dark windows, every cop knows how to look into a vehicle with dark windows. Window tint tickets are a sole money maker, theres no reason for different laws by state

So you’re obviously a cop? Why do so many cops use the officer protection argument then? And what’s the best way to look inside them? Just curious.
