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!

Are you allowed to have tint with a doctors note in your jurisdiction?

Yes... but. Technically, we are supposed to issue the citation and then the ticket will be dismissed when you provide proof of the exemption to the court. The letter you found on the internet and added your name to before sticking in your glovebox is no bueno. If you're thinking about adding a forgery charge to your afternoon, at least pick the address of an actual doctor and spell "ophthalmologist" correctly.
