Tint laws changing, maybe!
Recently, a bill created by Charles Carrico that will allow for 35% tent for the front windows passed the House! I've been thinking of tinting my windows, so it may be worth holding out to see if this gets passed by the senate. I realize a tint ticket isn't a huge issue, but in my opinion, cops pull folks over for tint far more than other "equipment" failures. I guess I could be wrong, but I'm afraid a tint pullover could result in several other "equipment" tickets, haha!
I saw a summary of recent bills passed by the house on virginia police website, and it seems like they are using this issue as a way to rally awareness and funds to kill this bill and others, which seems kind of silly to me. I guess it's the whole "officer can't see inside car during routine stops and increases risk of harm to officer" argument.
It would just be nice to be able to legally use 35% in the front and back, instead of varying percentages. Here's a link about the progress. What's everyone else think about this?

Re: Tint laws changing, maybe!
My buddy just got a doctors note saying that he needs tint to see properly, lol He gets tint tickets all the time, his tint is like 20%, but now he can get away with it.
