So it's legal to have a cargo van with NO windows (zero light transmission) to the rear or rear sides, but you're worried about dark tint?
99.99% of the population doesn't pose any threat to law enforcement, so why should you or I have to put up with the dangers of glare while driving -- much more dangerous overall.
Better not follow any cargo vans, tall trucks/SUVs, 18 wheelers, garbage trucks, city buses, pickups with stuff in the back (ya know, actually doing work) or any other number of vehicles with LEGAL blocked rear views.
Tint laws are mostly B.S.

I knew my position would not be popular. It's only my position. Obviously the CA laws are largely ignored.
I do avoid following vans and trucks, that's just smart driving (although a big truck is less likely to pull a panic stop that might collect me no matter how far back I am). But with manufacturers installing dark glass in the big greenhouse vehicles, it becomes more difficult to not be behind one.
Denis makes a good point about eye contact. Or at least being able to see if they are alert.
Now to be sure, all windows behind the driver's line of sight can be black or not there as Eric mentions with a cargo van. But the windshield and A pillar windows should not be tinted beyond what the factory installs. Where does most of the "glare" come from? That argument is w/o merit.
