Tinted Windows Are A Slippery Slope
Window tinting makes your car feel like a luxury vehicle and is relatively affordable for most car owners. However, tinting can get you into trouble if it’s too dark. Police are supposed to be able to see into vehicles to monitor the roads and to stay safe when approaching a car they’ve pulled over. Because of this, even tinted windows have to be light enough for an officer to see inside before rolling them down. In Illinois, tinting is strictly forbidden except for those with certain medical conditions. Other states allow for certain shades or for parts of the window. If you think the cops can’t prove that your tinting job is illegal, you’re wrong. They carry devices that can measure how much light is able to pass through the tinting, and will certainly ticket you if your windows aren’t up to par.
