The president of the Pennsylvania Fraternial Order of Police responded to my letter referenced in This Thread. <-Click me But I started a new topic about it because I wanted a more exciting subject line.... Text of the letter: Dear Ms. Snyder: Thank you for your recent e-mail concerning HB 2257 and for taking the time to provide me with your views on the subject of vehicle window tinting. As stated, vehicle window tinting is a very important issue to Law Enforcement and I must at all time put officer safety first. However, should there be a way in which your concerns and officer safety be met at the same time, we may be able to agree on the same piece of Legis…

State with *worst* tint laws.
by Guest NoTint- 1 reply

And to make it more interesting... how aggressively are the laws enforced? (I did check the tint laws pages). I live in MA . Looks pretty tough... 35% VLT all around. And in typical MA fashion, they enacted the law way back before most other states did (1985) However, with my previous vehicle(s) the tint was definitely illegal. In 20 years I've never been stopped once or questioned about it by the police. Only once have I been refused a safety inspection sticker because of it. Had to strip it off. Got my sticker the next day and a few days later I re-applied the same verboten tint.

I was just reading another thread and one of the statements was how vauge pa tint laws are. our laws are not vauge at all actualy qiute straight forward . pa tint laws are as follows passenger cars 98 and up. All windows can not be darker than 70% visibility. (If you put a tint meter on your car straight from the dealer it will read about 74%. so anything put on your car will make it illegal ) Now this does not affect any car built on an all wheel drive chasis such as a subaru. These type of vehichle's are considered suv's 97 and older passenger vehicles law is as follows. rear glass ( meaning the very back window only) can be as dark as 20% . front and rear sides can be…

NY tint laws?

Can someone explain it to me? Most people around here get 20% put on and cops have never given them a problem. I'm considering going and getting black tints put on but I'm not sure what % I should have done. I don't want something too dark, just enough for some privacy and to keep some sun out so the leather doesn't eventually fade. Can one of you experts give me some advice

Just heard from my main film supplier that the addmendment to the Road Traffic Act has been approved and will become law from the 1st Jan 2004. They have tidyed up the wording (sounds like liar blair and the EU Constitution !!) so that it will be easier to nick people. Basically if you don't know (and you should if you are in the UK) the UK law states that the front drop glass must have at least a 70% VLT and the front screen a 75% VLT. I have also heard that one of the major players in the UK wll not be fitting film to the front drop glass from the 1st Jan. I am not sure how to play this, whilst I think the law is an Ass (35% film on front drop glass is fine by me) I…

Van vs Car tint laws
by Guest leroys4wd- 2 replies

I have a '67 van I'd like to tint with 5% tint, but I know the law in Ohio is 50% tint. I guess I just want to vent a bit and maybe see if anyone has ever been hassled in a van in Ohio for too dark tint. I see vans with curtains that you can't see through, what the heck is the difference if it's tint or curtains. Are curtains illegal too? I have been stopped here in a '79 Regal for being too dark, and don't want to be hassled in my van. I dont want to tint drivers or passenger doors, and I have west coast mirrors on both sides. any opinions?
