![]() ![]() At this point I don't have much more of a reason to other than the look, which I like. So according to them, everyone that has windows which are tinted too dark are trading illegal arms, puffing on a chong sized doobie or snorting lines off the center console?! The windows of my truck I recently bought are already tinted, but I'm still undecided if I will tint them any darker. I'll quit wasting my time because a good friend of mine who is a former LEO and now works in the DA's office point blank said its probable cause when there is nothing else to light him up on. Now if you have a vague tint law saying you can pullover any car registered in any state because in your experience, as a professional LEO sitting perpendicular in the median with the K9 stickered windows, you felt that car running 74 MPH in a 70 in the center lane on an overcast day that happened to have TX plates with two Hispanics in it hidden by suspicious window tint should be checked! Of course the naysayers will say I'm wrong but if that's the case why is it everyone I know including myself and my brother that has been warned or fined for illegal tint since 2006 has not NOT been asked to peel his illegal tint off but simply asked to sign a warning or pay a fine? If cops were actually dying I can assure you we would be peeling and peeling and peeling.and I wouldn't have a single complaint.Ĭould it be the revenue generators that sit perpendicular in the median on the interstate at such an angle that: radar isn't worth a chit, registration on tags can't be read nor can simple drifting across the yellow line (all magical things which lead to probable cause for a stop which would then lead to probable cause for searches which once in a blue moon turn up enough millions to by not only the LEO's new crown vic's but sometimes the 9/11 operators too)? Radio, I'm unclear. I'm all for officer safety at night or even during the day but unless your windshield is tinted top to bottom in limo tint along with every window in the vehicle (and they are all rolled up) his little halogen disco lights will shine right through your dark tinted glass showing peculiar movement that would put him on a higher level of alert.Īnd lets face it when its pitch black that LEO parked behind you isn't wanting to read you DL number through the glass 15 yards away he simply wants to see if there is anything out of the ordinary in the composure/movement/body language of every subject in the vehicle. Now back to 2007 and the 2006 tint laws if these new laws for any vehicle traveling through GA were really written for the officers safety it seems like we could find some instance around 2004 or 2005 where an officer might have actually stubbed his thumb while approaching a vehicle because its tint was less than 32%? Laws? For the officer's safety and how dare you not know that!Īs a news ho, the last time I recall an officer was shot through (a major contributing factor) dark limo type tint was the early90's and after that they enforced the existing tint laws for about two years. Now why would they pass and enforce a law in GA that supersedes a vehicle owners home state tint Unless recently changed theres a funny little thing about GA's tint law that isn't mentioned in the previous link.ģ2% applies to any driver from any state that happens to be driving in the state of Georgia regardless if you are from FL where 20% might be legal!!! I had a local cop bust me for tint after 2.5 years of 5% w/ 35% on the front doors. That's the last time I pass up a cop on the interstate who's going too slow LOL However the trooper who pulled me over didn't know the height laws real well so when I told her that she was wrong and what my restrictions were she came back with a warning.after refusing to measure my truck :D Some troopers don't like my truck.something about the height, the tires sticking out with no flares, no mudflaps, etc. I take it that it was a State Trooper on 294? I asked him if he even realized it was a diesel, and he said no. ![]() He also said my exhaust was illegal 4" turboback. I know in Illinois its illegal to have the front side windows done, but all they can do is fine you the first 3 times then it has to be removed. He said he didnt have time to look for the laws. He kind of bumbled around in his car, and came back and gave me a warning. I aked him if he had any kind of a law in writing telling me that I had to do it on the spot. I just got pulled over for speeding (8 mph over), and the officer told me that my tint on the front windows was illegal and he wanted me to take it off right on the spot. locations here.The officer made my buddies wife tear her tint off the two front windows on I-294 about a year ago.
