Many, many years ago when I was a volunteer firefighter in my small town the local cops would come by the station to eat lunch or chill for a bit. We got in the subject of tint, mufflers, slightly blocked license plates and other odd laws. He said they never pull anyone over just for that. However if they thought they needed to pull you over those type laws made a good reason.

Absolutely. It is called a pretext stop or a fishing expedition, upheld in a unanimous Supreme Court in Whren g. US.
I have limo and an eyebrow around every vehicle I drive. Until last year, never had any issues.. last year had to take my vehicles to a few places until someone didn't whine about it at inspection.
Only time it sucks is backing a boat down the ramp in on a dark morning, other than that well worth it in my opinion.
We can legally go 5% tint on all of our windows do to our daughters vision conditions but my wife and I decided not too. Id hate to go out for dinner, have a drink and get pulled over for tint. We went 5% back, 30 front.
Seems like you get nailed for darker on the front two windows.
I literally just came from having my car tinted. I asked why do they let you go dark as you want everywhere but the sides? I asked is it a vision thing or LEO safety thing? He said, he thinks it’s a vision thing.

Roll your windows down. That's what I do in low light conditions.
My (new to me) 2018 F250 has limo all around and a 8” limo brow. I have to admit. I really like it during the day. But it can be a PITA it at night. So not sure if I’m gonna pull it off yet. But as far as inspection and police. I have not had a problem. But I do live in a town of 2,500 so that might help
Stupid reason to give someone a ticket but yeah unfortunately there’s some cops that are about it and it happened to me the other week. Gave me a ticket for it. Truck got stolen about 2 weeks after it so can’t tell you price of ticket for it since I didn’t make it that far with the process. But I’ll continue to get dark tint hate people being able to “window shop”

Ticket is about 180 . Speaking from experience. Been a few years since I had a ticket .
