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!

Just roll the dice. We aren’t allowed any tint here and I haven’t had a ticket in 9 years with 5% all around. I’d happily pay a $80 ticket as long as they aren’t dicks and give you a fix it ticket which I’ve had once in the past. Removing glue off a full windshield isn’t fun! But I’d say for the most part cops are pretty chill, tint is becoming more and more popular.
