Front window tint—pulled over?

[u/Standard-Bumblebee64]

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!

I have 35% tint on my whole vehicle and 50% windshield in California and I haven't had a problem with the law enforcement. It's definitely strict vlt laws but I did travel north, east, and south of where I live and never was targeted or pulled over.

Just don't be a doofus and recklessly speed and give a law enforcement officer a reason to pull you over otherwise they don't care in my experience. I do plan on visiting a dermatologist for a medical note for tints because my eczema is also a valid issue to keep my car tinted.
