Got my tint taken off today Feels like I have a different car

 

Why did you take it off man?

 

Went on a ride-along today and I had the officer check it...26%. Decided it would be a smart move for me since I'm trying to get a LE job. Wouldn't look good on the background Had Street Scenes take it off.

You gonna be there tomorrow Locksmith?

 

After I'm off work I'm going to try and meet up with you guys, I'll call Janik and see where you guys are at that time. It should be a pretty good time and the weather is looking much better than last weekend.

 

Sucks you had to take it off...

 

whats the legal limit?i have 35% and someone said it was illegal but i remember having this convo with my dealer and they assured me i was good to go. so i went

 

The state law is 50%

The legal limit in Minnesota is 50%. Did you buy your tint in another state? Every state has a different limit. For example, my dad lives in SC and the legal limit there is 27%. I would have been fine there. Anyways, if you have 35% tint, what you really have is about 31%. Factory windows have about 4%. The reason Southern states have a lower limit is because of the heat and sun down there.

The reason for the law is officer safety. As an officer, you always want to be able to see the person. Traffic stops are already ready one of the most dangerous duties an officer has, not being able to see the person just adds to the danger. My friend had 3% tint. When he got pulled over, the officer walk to the other side of the street until he could see my friend, then he approached from the side. Another time, an officer called over the loud speaker and told him to roll down all the windows. After 3 tint tickets within 2 months, my friend took the tint off.

Thats the short story

 

If i could get away with it, i'd do 20%. If i have to roll my windows down to make an officer feel safe, id have no issues doing it, because im not going to shoot a cop, i just want my car to look nice, but whatever it takes for an officer to feel safe is fine by me.
