You can get a ticket for that in cali?
front windows basically have to be clear in cali. It's beyond stupid

Windshield: Non-reflective tint is allowed on the top 4 inches of the windshield.
Front Side windows: Aftermarket film must allow more than 88% of light in, or minimum 70% VLT if combined with factory-tinted windows.
Back Side windows: Any darkness can be used.
Rear Window: Any darkness can be used.

Tint darkness for SUV and vans:
Windshield: Non-reflective tint is allowed on the top 4 inches of the windshield.
Front Side windows: Aftermarket film must allow more than 88% of light in, or minimum 70% VLT if combined with factory-tinted windows.
Back Side windows: Any darkness can be used.
Rear Window: Any darkness can be used.

The best are the “registration” checkpoints randomly thrown up throughout the week during the day or the tons of dui checkpoints. They will pull u to the side and take u to town. I use Waze everyday to dodge the fuzz.

Well... if everything is legal then you don't have to worry about the registration checkpoints... DUI checkpoints should be a routine thing. Too many people out there drinking and driving.

It was illegal and wasn't smart to begin with, but I was just at a red light and he already had someone pulled over. He looked over at me and told me to pull in front of the other car.

The registration checkpoints are to just get you for other things (possibly drinking & driving, drugs, ect).

I've never understood front windshields being tinted. I have sensitive eyes (sunglasses on pretty much whenever driving - sunny, rainy, cloudy, snowing). Only time I don't wear sunglasses is of course night time (when it's dark).

I do the same thing. Me during daytime without sunglasses is rare Judy because it feels like I'm squinting the whole time...

windshields are one thing, but not being able to tint your front DOOR windows is stupid
I just never used glasses because it feels like something is blocking my vision, but the tint wasn't too dark for me. However, it is a big liability if you get in an accident. The cop told me he didn't care about my front door tints, but the front so I think it is just a hit or miss. Anyone will eventually get caught up.

Are you serious? You can't be.... Please tell me you are joking...

Let's get an eluding charge because you didn't follow orders from a Police Officer to stop and pull over... :rolleyes:

Eluding Charge - a person is guilty of eluding if, while operating a motor vehicle, they knowingly attempt to flee or elude a law enforcement officer after having received a signal from the officer to bring the vehicle to a stop.
