I think your sfe if you can be clearly see through the tint which isn't saying much. At least in Southern California but it depends on the cop and his mood too

yeah no one really cares about the tint tickets by me.. its 45 buks, and like i said to the officer who gave me my first and only tint ticket, that i got 3 days after the tints, none since, well the officer goes, everyime i see u im gonna pull u over for ht tints if u dont remove them, and i said to him, im not removing them, so i guess my car payment will just go up 45 bucks a month..because there is IA, and harrassment involved if u go that route officer, i see him all the time , still wating on my second tint ticket..he doesnt bother..
