Car windows Tinted

[JanetRose]

Do you have your car windows tinted?

 

[Art 1]

It came that way from the factory, so yes.

 

[lauradis]

Yes it came that way. I like it.

 

[wishesuponastar]

No our car windows are not tinted.

I think it's unsafe to have windows tinted for police. How can they be sure you're not a bad guy.

What does a bad guy look like?

Yes. My windows are tinted.

All of our cars have tinted windows.

Our newest car (two weeks old) did not come with them but we asked them to put them in before we picked it up.

It really helps with UV in the summer and helps with the heat.

Seriously????? If that were the case, why not just make window tinting illegal?

Yes my windows are tinted, and i love em!

Windshield and dark front window tinting is illegal in my state.

I've seen front seat windows tinted really dark so how would a police officer know if you have a gun when he approaches your car. And yes, around here it is illegal to have front windows tinted.

Truthfully how would they see anyway if it was hidden?

 

[TifffanyD]

Yes we both got ours tinted a few years ago.

Because you roll your window down?

It's illegal here too but I think only certain levels of tinting are illegal. My car came with tinted windows and I guess that's ok but I know someone who paid to tint their windows and got a ticket.

The police here actually carry a tool that allows them to measure the level of tinting. And they will ticket if you're past the allowable amount. I'm not sure how it works, but I have a coworker who's son has a couple tickets.

 

[nene0182]

Mine are factory tinted. I believe it's illegal here to have tinting over a certain percent on the front windows.

It's like that in a lot of places.

How would they know if it's down in your lap or the side anyway?

My husband used to get tickets for it a lot too.

All tinting is not created equal. OP just asked if your windows are tinted, not how dark.

The hidden gun isn't what makes the police nervous. It's the idea that the driver could be pointing it at him and him not being able to see it.

Yes, here too. If its tinted too dark, you get a ticket.

Clearly if that were a major concern, they'd down right ban tinting in north america altogether now wouldnt they? But its not illegal, as stated, its only illegal if its too dark (in most states anyway, as far as I know some states actually have banned them?). As long as you dont get them tinted too dark, your not breaking any laws.

DH's car has tinted windows, mine does not. I don't really care either way.

Although I do NOT like tinted windows on SUV's parked next to me in a parking lot - you can't see thru their windows to see if a car is coming when you're backing out of your space.
