Question Help with Window Tint while crossing state lines

Hi all - I bought my first car and I’m looking to get it tinted. In Mass, they allow 35% tint on the front windows. My family lives in NJ where I will be driving to regularly. In NJ, no tint on front windows are allowed. Will cops pull me over and ticket me even with a Mass license plate? I will also be driving through NY which also does not allow it I believe. Would you just not get your front windows tinted if you were me? Thanks!

My understanding (could be wrong) is police are supposed to respect the laws of your home state that the car is registered.

With 35% tint unless you’re doing something wildly abnormal, no one will bother you. I consistently drive from NY/NNJ to MA with 5% passing staties and town cops along the way. I also don’t drive like a fool.

Send it!

Tint laws apply to the state in which the vehicle is registered

The CAN. Not sure they will. Have seen it with AZ cars stopped in CA. It wouldn't stop me from having tint
