window tint hassles
I wish the entire USA would have the same laws regarding window tinting, it would sure be nice..
I drove my Mk8s a lot of miles in my home state (Michigan) with tinted windows, for a number of years, with no problems. Then along about 2007 or 2008, the cops seemed to increase the enforcement about tinted glass. I got a ticket in Auburn Hills in one of my cars, then a verbal warning in Davison in another car. I had to remove the tint from my side windows, then show them I had done so, to get the ticket dismissed by Auburn Hills. In Davison, they said if they saw that car again with the tint still there, they'd start writing..So (under protest) I removed the tint on two of my Marks so far.
They told me there is a state-wide statute which forbids any tint on the windows, except for the top four inches (windshield and/or side windows) They said a medical exemption could be legally obtained if you get a certain form signed by a doctor, saying you had some medical condition related to sun exposure (or brightness)
I travel nationwide almost constantly, and I see plenty of vehicles with very dark tint in many states..So it's obvious that the laws about window tinting do vary a lot.
My window tint was not even that dark on my cars, (I don't know what percent they were) but they still can enforce as they choose.
Anybody out there ever have any problems (tickets,etc) about window tint ?
