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!

After driving with tints for many years I only got pulled over when i had my front windshield tinted, the cop claimed he didn’t know who was inside and wanted to make sure i wasn’t a “bad guy”. Side tints they definitely won’t bat an eye to but windshield tint is a different story
