Window Tint Law...how to get a waiver?!

They don't just hand them out anymore so you will have to find an optometrist willing to put his livelihood on the line to facilitate your needs... Suddenly $100 bucks for a shady deal doesn't sound like much eh?

My thing would be to say to stop driving like an ass or like a teenager. I had tint on my jeep for over 6 yrs and only ever had one cop say something, and that was because it was a checkpoint for inspection violations. I didn't get a ticket either, just a warning.

My brother in law is a cop and he told me that unless your driving like an ass, have your music up too loud or look like a punk, they pretty much leave you alone.

5% is just asking to get pulled over.

X2.

Drawing attention to yourself probably gets you what you deserve.

As far as the $100, how much are the tickets?

My Jeep's been tinted for 7 years and never had an issue.

Isn't 5% the darkest you can get? Gangster grade tint might not be the way to go. Maybe it is the fact that you LOOK like you are trying to hide something that makes cops WANT to look closer??

<edit> Think about the difference between doing 95mph in a 65 vs. doing 75 in the same 65 zone.

Yeah, 5% is "limo tint".

Mine is like 20%.

Echo what Brian said, I've had the front windows tinted on every car I've owned (besides the Jeep) for the past 10 years and never been pulled over for it. Don't cruise Main St 5 times in a row and they won't pull you over.

5% is gangster and dangerous. when i was a teen i had that and couldnt see shit out of them at night. 20-25 is plenty dark and ive had it on my vehicles for years and never get shit from the man. i did get a ticket a couple years ago for it but i made an illegal u turn so i was asking for it

I had 35% on my XJ in the front and apparently that was too dark. I got busted for it exactly 1 month after putting it on at an inspection check point. They ripped my inspection sticker out and put a rejected sticker in its place. I had to go get it taken off and then go back through regular inspection. That really ticked me off.

Now, my TJ's front windows are tinted to around 15% I want to say. They're pretty darn dark. Never had an issue with them. Go figure!

You guys ass-u-me way too much.

That's funny, us guys aren't the ones not figuring out why a cop pulled us over with the gangsta tint eh...

Quote from Jeep91yj

Yeah it's funny because they didn't pull me over for "driving like an ass" or what any of the above says...they were just bored and trying to make a buck. Are you Canadian or something? eh? haha

Hahaha Pretty funny Canadian joke there. Just because you think somehow you are right in your line of thinking, let me try to understand a little better. So, they didn't pull you over for for driving like an ass, but they apparently gave you tickets for being an ass? Your original post was idiotic, but then you even admit 5% was a bad idea. And you are still looking for someone to sign an illegal window tint permission slip. Get a clue, redo the tint and expect to still possibly get pulled over, or remove it entirely. Then, of course, the cops are morons or greedy for pulling you over while driving a Jeep that could never pass inspection as-is? And yet you seem surprised they did. I hope you were able to "keep your boner down" when you saw the flashing lights and thought of tasers.

eh... The string of somewhat and downright hostile replies to you original post should really give you the sense to drop this whole thread.

Don't join tough guy. Keep showing everyone how smart you are... Stop by Dover anytime. Hahaha

Ok, ok.

Sounds like the question has been answered. Locked.
