Why Tint Legal
Around the country and increasingly the world there are more and more laws
governing how dark we can have our windows tinted, in several states and countrys
window tinting has been totally banned! With the hybrid tinting films available
today darkness does not mean better heat rejection or ultraviolet protection,
just a darker look. When tinting your windows please follow the laws of your
state and go with a legal product. This will help keep tinted windows legal
in your area and keep you from paying a hefty ticket.
The reasons for laws limiting how dark you can tint your windows vary from
other drivers needing to make eye contact for safety reasons to criminals
hiding out behind the dark windows! Law enforcement officers in particular
can feel threatened by not being able to see into a vehicle during a traffic
stop. While most law enforcement officers have been trained in approaching
vehicles such as panel vans, delivery trucks or sport utility vehicles that
have factory darkened glass it is wise to roll your windows down if possible
when stopped for any reason if they are tinted. This will give the officer
a better view of the inside of your car and go along way in promoting good
will during the traffic stop!
