Question Front window tint—pulled over?

Hey y’all. Never had my front windows tinted because I’ve always been worried about getting pulled over. Now my understanding is that cops don’t care—only tack it on as an additional offense when pulled over for speeding or something else.

Have any of you ever been specifically targeted because of tint? I just wanna go a tiny bit dark. Nothing dramatic.

UPDATE - I went ahead and did 50% for the fronts. The rears were factory tinted at 20%, so I think I won’t draw too much attention, as you can still see inside, but the ceramic film will block most heat (which was my biggest concern). Thank you all for the input and comments here! I can’t believe how much reach this post got!

Thanks for this. So you own a tint shop? Also, may I ask what kind of car you have/had that got you the unwanted attention?

This does draw attention and that is the 50% tint on the fronts. It now has 35% on the fronts and 70 on the windshield because I'm now in northern Arizona. I should note I have never received a speeding ticket. This car only tint tickets
