If either or both tells you it's illegal and explains why in their opinion despite 7.1 your tint is illegal, then you know what rationale can, and likely will, be used against you if you put it on your car anyway. you have to goto court to prove your case.It's hardly a waste of time. More importantly just cuz one cop or a ticket specialist says it's legal, doesn't mean you can't get a ticket for it. they don't care if there are other laws that make what you do legal. spend the money and buy tinted tails for your car that were designed to be tinted and meet safety standards.Īctng wrote: ↑waste of time asking any cop any questions (no offense) cops are there to execute the law. you have to goto court to prove your case.
