    quite a few years ago I had limo tint on my 81 chevy and I got pulled over by a hiway patrolman at 1am. He was going south towards houston and I was going north towards dallas. He said he saw my window tint was too dark from across the highway in the dead of night. they just use it as an excuse to be dicks from time to time. Idiot asked me how much I had to drink that night and I told him honestly that I had maybe about a quart. He had me doing the roadside test after that. I did two tests and then asked his partner if it was normal for him to require persons drinking kool-aid to take roadside sobriety tests. His partner laughed and they went on their way after writing me a warning for the dark tint. To say the least, no more tint for me on side windows.

    i duno what the limit down there is but in maine its 50% on side windows and i dont believe its regulated for the rear i have 35 on sides and 15 on back but i have a tint *certificate* saying its the legal limit so if i get yanked over for it they can chum it. cops are dicks i gota go to court monday for a ticket i contested on the highway...troopers are the worst..

    Did he test it if not id say something about it in court you might get out of paying it. I got pulled over for tint before and my license was suspended he tested it and it was legal so he had to let me go. I thought for sure I was going to jail

    The tint law in texas is 35% on the front two. I am waiting for mine. Crew did they make you cut an x with a razor. i heard they do that now. Can't wait to see what they tell me about the windshield being done.
