You should see all the other " safety " items they are adding to the list of things to check for vehicles state inspection .
I asked him his reasoning behind it, and he told me that they are worried about the safety of the police officers that cannot see in cars they are stopping.
I should have kept my mouth shut, but I simply stated my opinion that they have no business looking in my vehicle, and we both know that this has nothing to do with making vehicles that travel our roads safer.
I guess window tint will be the next big evil our society will have to legislate our way out of
Sorry to hi jack the thread.

Here in Va we can not reject for tint unless it is all bubbled and distorts the drivers view. The law falls on the officer on the street to determine if it is too dark. In court there has to be a number from the tint-o-meter for the charges to stick. It is kind of like the muffler thing. As long as the exhaust is properly mounted, doesn't leak, and properly exits the vehicle properly it passes state inspection. but state law requires a muffler. Go figure
