Do you follow state window tint laws?
Hi guys
I was thinking about getting my windows tinted earlier today. Made a few phone calls around town seeing what shops had to offer. All sounded good until I looked at NY's laws for tinted windows. The legal limit in this state is 70%...and my factory windows(completely see through) are already 70%... What are the chances you'd get pulled over for having a illegal tint? 9/10? 2/10? Anyone tint outside of the states limitations and get around daily with no issues? I don't really want to blow $200 on a tint job only to have it taken off when a cop sees it.

Is that the law for all windows? In CA the driver and passenger is 70% but rear windows and rear windshield has no limit.

Whatever, I went with 20% in New York. If I get a ticket so be it. 16000 on this new car and no tickets or stops. I drive pretty tame so I also don't give someone a reason to stop me.
And I gotta be honest, all the times I've been pulled over in my life I've never once received a tint ticket. If your driving like an asshat then yes the police officer may be more likely to write you a book of infractions. |

Generally, they will ticket you for something else and throw the tint on top of it. Here in FL, the law is 30% on the front windows. I was pulled over for a blown license plate light bulb years ago and was given the choice of removing my 20% tint in front of the cop or getting a ticket. YMMV.

here in Ny the back window and rear passenger windows can be tinted dark as you want. driver and front passenger is 70%(light pass through, so 30%tint). Personally, I had 30% tint in the past and have never gotten a ticket.
I drive with a radar detector...so I look like a good citizen when the cops see me. My previous cars were incognito Volvo 850T, Volvo 920. My BRZ got enough attention without tint so I never put it on. Now I drive an Impreza 2.0 with 35% + radar detector |

We cannot tell you if/when/how often you'd be pulled over and/or ticketed.
Per Trevor2.0 you can have 30% tint on the front, so it appears you misread or misinterpreted the law. Take the risk or don't, the internet cannot help you. |
