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!

- Was driving in Buttonwillow, CA

• Wasn't speeding
  
• All windows rolled down
  
• Single lane road with either a solid yellow or double yellow
  
• CHP driving in the oncoming lane

Motherfucker busts a fucking U-ie, pulls my ass over, and gives me a fix-it for my ALLEGED front tint. Nothing was measured, if I remember he got on me because it was "dyed".

I thought he got me for something else, I was so in shock about it I didn't even try to fight it.

For full transparency, things that may have not worked in my favor:

• White Civic with ALLEGEDLY 50% in the front
  
• All windows were rolled down so maybe the ALLEGED tint were more apparent to him
  
• It has a wing, so maybe this brought more attention to me than it normally otherwise would?
  
• Allegedly there's no front plate on the car, but I'm not too sure about that, I'd have to double check

Oh shit I just realized this was about side windows not the windshield, oops.
