But where in the cabin? Within reach right? Probably under your seat or in your glove box?
My point with the location is…while pulling over or after just stopping…you could quickly reach for it as the cop is still getting out of the car and could have it on the side of your leg where he can’t see no problem. Most people reach for their documents just after stopping. Cop wouldn’t be able to tell the difference between you reaching for your registration and you reaching for a gun.
How is no tint going to save him in that case if someone already pulled it out quick and has it at the ready? Seeing in the car will do NOTHING in that case IMO. Unless, of course, the criminal is dumb enough to hold it in plain sight.
I think you people are missing my point. I’m not denying that it’s happened (cops getting shot) or that it COULD happen…but if you honestly thing that is the MAIN reason behind a tint law I think you’re just mistaken. I bet the driving force behind such tickets is fiscal. Same as it is for some of the other BS laws we have, like the hanging things from mirror example that I have personal experience with.
