Reply to comment by FreeGreenCards_ in I don’t know if this was asked a lot but it’s hard to get a clear answer since there’s so much gray area… can I, and if so, how dark may my window tint be on a sedan? My apologies if this is a repeating question, I look forward to y’all’s expertise! by FreeGreenCards_

Anything that brings you to the attention of the cops increases your chance of getting a ticket. The darker your skin color, the more likely you are to be shot and/or given the ticket. Put those two things together, and it's a recipe for problems. But given your answer I assume you're at the lighter end of the melanin spectrum

I guess I should’ve stated it better, I meant more so how will a cop notice your skin tone that quick if you drive past him at night going let’s say 40-50mph and he’s pulled over on the side of the road with his headlights off, but then again I might just be reaching for a one-of-a-kind scenario

He/she wont know what you look like until 1-he runs your plate and sees your license photo, or 2- sees you in person. But the dark windows draws attention either way. Do you plan legal tint or darker than legal?

Honestly at this point I don’t think I’m gonna get it because I know how pissed off I’ll be if it results in a ticket or even a search. Just sucks that other states are so much more lenient with tint

I don't know that other states are more lenient. but don't forget, there is tinting that is legal. Only the limo tint and the super dark tints are illegal, and that's based on a good idea because it makes it hard for the driver to see (at least a little) but more importantly if cops approach super dark wibdows they cannot see inside and they may walking right up to a gun pointed at them. Check out the legal stuff, you may like it

Honestly that is a fair point, however I know I’m just doing it for the privacy and reduction in sun glare. Also just for reference, I don’t know how up to date this article is but there’s literally around 8 states that have such strict tint laws. For example you have Michigan over here with any % allowed. Of course we got the luck of the draw lol
