Illegal tint, pulled over, mechanically CANNOT roll up windows, obstruct of justice??

Here in AZ you can get a note from the eye doctor allowing darker tints.

Thats a thing in many states. Problem is it also pigeon holes you into the other side of illegal. If you get caught driving a car without tint and you have a drs note on file saying you need the tint. Guess what? You get the ticket. You also have to have the drs note re-certified every year.

Sounds like a hassle to me.

Just don't tint windshield. Plain and simple. Why fight something that's illegal?

Some people have better or worse eyesight then others. I can ride my motorcycle with tinted visor at night and be fine. Not that IM considering tinting my windshield cause I do actually prefer tint less vision out the front.

So what. Some people are diff over others. That's a given. But to come on here thinking you can beat the law with all these lame excuses.....you got no case homey. You must be young.

My uncle used to test his luck. He’s always liked cars, Cadillacs, vettes…
He had been pulled over several times by the same cop. He copped an attitude and the cop made him remove it on the side of the rd.
I have legal and often see far darker than mine. Idc if cops want to get you for too dark, they will. Kill switch is a thought but if the vehicle isn’t in operational order they could site a person for that.

Bumping a worthless 6 year old thread because you have low IQ, poor impulse control, and oppositional defiance disorder. You've got a long row to hoe in life if your idea of authoritarian oppression is not being able to 90% tint your windows.

We have previously stated that civilization's heaviest burdens are borne by the superior.

2017 does seem that long ago, but man 6 years went fast.

But, since the thread is back up...
I always wanted tint as a kid, but having done a lot of night driving, I never tinted any of my vehicles. My sister / her husband have insanely dark tint and you can see nothing out of it at night (have driven their cars a few times), have to roll the windows down to look for cross traffic, etc, just to make sure.

I feel like these days it isn't as big of a reason to get pulled over, as I see a lot of dark tint. To me, even the factory tint seems fairly dark so the aftermarket kind of blends in and has become a little less discernible. I'm sure people still get pulled over for it though.

Ah, the stand by comeback from someone without any idea how to back up their view: The personal attack. Next time try thinking of a reason you have your view and say that. Like this: I'm going to do everything I can to prevent the sun from damaging my leather interior. Window tint helps. I don't care if it scares a cop (who has a gun!) to be unable to see inside. Maybe he should find another line of work if he's such a *****.

So you want someone with a gun to be scared of you. Lol. Smart.

Have you considered the Armor All line of leather care products? They work great at preserving leather, most are under 10$ for a year's supply, they are quick to apply, and you don't have to sit around on the side of the road for half an hour like some hoodrat dealing with police.

Refresh and revive your car’s leather interiors with the Armor All® car leather cleaners, wipes, protectants and gels.

Or I suppose you could just **** off to a country without police or the rule of law if this is all too much of a burden for you. I hear Somalia is nice this time of year.

So ive been reading around about cops legally being able to make you roll up your windows if they pull you over. Using such things as charging you with obstruction of justice, impounding your car search warrent etc. most of these cases are with people who outright refuse to roll back up their windows so the officer can check for tint. But what if i make a hidden killswitch somewhere and the officer pulls me over for suspected tint but i mechanically cannot roll up my window and apoligize greatly for not being able to do so? Is this legal? I was willingly cooperating but the car ran into mechanical issues or whatever, i can play a ton Of excuses out in my head

This thread is ridiculously stupid, complete horseeshit, and I'm sure the OP was round-about asking about a killswitch for a different reason.

How would a cop have any idea what your tint is if your windows are down? Do you really think they see people with their windows down, and pull em over just so they can guess if they even have tint, let alone taking a gamble on it being too dark? It's as stupid as saying, "they are pulling people over because there might be a body in the trunk".

1. They're not going to waste their time with this nonsense. If they pulled you over, they didn't do it because you MIGHT have tint that is too dark.

2. The cop wouldn't have any justification in court if it was just about the tint on your windows, because they couldn't see there was anything wrong when they pulled you over. They wouldn't have any justification for pulling you over, which means it was an illegal stop and anything after that is inadmissible. Every judge would have to dismiss that ticket, and everything else that followed, and the cops know that. They aren't going to waste their time, or the court's time.

You bumped a really old, and really stupid thread, for a really stupid reason.

Have you tried the ceramic window film? I order it on my windshields and it makes a world of difference. It blocks as much heat as the widshield visors with high clarity at night. Only worry is when installing the windshield inspection tag, you may scrape it if you are not careful.
