The LAW down there is 28% on front sides and 15% on the backs (while NY is 70% front and back for cars). But cops for the most part don’t bother you unless you are really f’in off. I drove an old hooptie Corolla with basically painted on black windows for 2 weeks and didn’t get one look from a cop. In NY? You’d get stopped a lot more frequently if you had 15% tint or ‘limo’ tint on your car. If NY wasn’t after money, they wouldn’t have set the limit so high which basically prohibits you from having ANY kind of tint. They’d have set it at, say, 40%. Which is more reasonable, don’t you think? > > Is a cops safety in NY more important than a cops safety in FL? > > Oh right. It gets hot in FL. BS. My car gets just as hot on an 80\* day because it’s black on black. > > If you think the tint laws are anything more than a revenue stream, you’re silly. Safety is maybe 10% of the equation. They know they can make money off of it and do so. > > If someone is going to blast a cops ass, he will do it whether he has tint or not. You think some shmuck is sitting in his car going, “Okay, well, he’s coming…and I have tint…I can get away with this” as opposed to “Well damn, I ain’t got tint. No, can’t shoot em.” > > :retardclap > > I see fine at all hours of the day/night with my tint including my front windshield which is 50%. Sides/rears are 35% I believe (possibly 30% - escapes me at the moment). And I live in the sticks. Yeah, it gets harder with no street lights but even without them I can still see pretty decent (if say, looking to the side). Secondly, what does Floridas laws have to do with ours? Theres tint laws because at night you cant see out your windows when theyre tinted so its unsafe. If Florida doesn’t think they should have tint laws then don’t. Im sure Cuba doesn’t have tint laws either whats your point? Its also a safety issue for police. Noone is saying that if a person really wants to get into a gun fight with police no tint will stop them you bafoon. The police will have a better chance of seeing maybe a gun concealed under the seat, or drugs, or a passenger that is wanted for murder. Or if he walks up to the car I’m sure hed like to be able to see the movements of the passengers before hes standing directly next to the car. Thirdly, for yet more comments that come directly from your butthole…The “revenue” you speak of, very small percentages go to jurisdictions. So if a person gets 200 bucks in fines, the jurisdiction doesn’t get 200 bucks they get like…20. And if you think there is some conspiracy where the cheif police departments talks to his cops and says, we need money write tickets …YOURE DUMB --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/watervliet-statie-how-bad/264640)._
