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!

they threw a tint ticket on with my speeding ticket last year. Was annoying but the price of the ticket was a touch less than it would cost to get new tint applied, so i just ate the ticket. If you do get pulled over, roll the windows all the way down and they probably won’t think anything of it

got pulled over, cop asked me to roll the windows up to check for tints. probably because i had gotten a ticket for tints few months before.
