- wel, i dont know about wisdom, but i will give it a shot...
-
- When i had my windows done here in nebraska, they were changeing the law
- to read 20 in back and 35 in front, so that is what i did, then about 2
- years later i get pulled over for a "routine" traffic stop...they had
- road blocks set up looking for headlights out, turning lights out..etc..
- anyway, i was told i was fine and could go, then another cop yelled out,
- not to let me go anywhere, he noticed my tint and want to check it. The
- reading came out -5 % on the back and 10 % or so on front, first off,
- think about it, how could glass have a negative reflection?..that a
- mirrior right???!!!...so i contested the ticket after theyd said i had
- to have it removed...it turns out the equiptment and standards they use
- to determine the percentage of tint is ONLY the film, not the film on
- the window, and most windows filter some light by itself, plus add in
- factor tint, then aftermarket tint...and they got you in a no win
- situation, ...BUT, i did win..i sent the ticket in with my receipt, the
- procecutor dismissed charges andi have not been bothered since...
-
- I would suggest going to a shop/police station and haveing your
- window tested to see what it is, and also to see how they set their
- standards, and even first off before doing any of this, go to the place
- you had it done, have them look at your receipt and note that it is
- leagal and they did do the work, and show that to someone at the
- station...
-
- good luck...
