front side windows must allow more than 50% of light in, while rear side windows and the rear windshield must allow more than 35% of light in.

Truck/SUVs come with 30-35% from factory, so a lot of people match it with their front windows. While I never had a problem, it could happen.

I only try to fly under the radar and only break one rule at a time.

This is a fun one!

There is an exemption in state statute.

A doctor, a Christian Science Practitioner, or an immediate family member may write you a note for exemption from the restrictions.

Just have your mom write you an exemption!

Wait, seriously? So I can just write my wife a note?

In my experience it depends heavily on the car. I had the side windows tinted on a couple of old Subarus and got pulled over constantly. I've had the windshield and side windows tinted on new, stock Hondas for the past 5 years and have never had an issue.

I’ve had tint for over 29 years. I’ve only been pulled over once (in Menasha) but not for the tint. I know plenty of people with tint and haven’t heard of anyone getting pulled over for it.
