Default 2009 tint law...?

There was a thread on this but I can't seem to find it anymore...

Is the rumored $500 tint ticket in effect?

Is this for very dark tint or just having tint period?

Technically, ANY tint is illegal on the fronts.

Is it a mandatory ticket? As in no more warnings?

I might take my tints down if this is the case.

I haven't heard anything about any 'changes' to the law regarding tint, I thought the first offense is usually a warning. I have had my tints 35% front and 20% rear for 7-8 months now without any trouble.

And Jeff,

Looking at your tint in person yesterday, your 5% is getting you pulled over (lol)!! I still love how it looks.

I used to have 20% in front and 5% in rear..
after getting pulled over in every town and last straw being a state trooper...
I ripped my front tints off, but then decided F it..
So I retinted the fronts now to 5%.. so it's 5% all the way around.
