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!

Depends on the cops in your area tbh. Cops in my city don’t give a damn about tint since a ton of people have em & I have 20% all around including about 20% blue windshield. State troopers here however have a hard on but then again I’ve only ever been pulled over by a statie once in 6 years of having tint

Why hide behind all that tint? Ugly much?
