Tinted Windows Annoy Me

Lmao this thread is too good, from hating/liking tints, to a "bro" comment misunderstood.

Ahhh you guys need a chill pill lol
 
Do you realize not having tinted windows makes your interior warmer, it also lets thieves see what you have in your car, it also lets non thieves or by-passers get a glimpse of what you have and turn them into thieves and tinted windows help preserve the interior and keep the sun at bay when driving.

Just the ying to your yang

Everyone has an opinion.

Anyways, starting another useless thread means it's another useless thread someone has to look through when searching for useful information.

Adjust to it
 
Also I like the part you say you're glad you're not a cop. Just what we need cops profiling cars bc of their personal distaste for tints. There's gotta be better ways to spend your time than pulling ppl over just to check tint levels.

Exactly my thoughts. We already have enough police going around playing God and taking advantage of our rights.
 
Question about 'tinted'...how is the night vision? I'm not meaning while 'in town', but when you are away from all the city lights?

I know just with factory tinted, dark freeways at night can be frustrating at times.

I've never had a problem on freeways side windows hardly matter if you clear enough ahead of you the only time you should be looking out of your side windows is to check your mirrors.

Won't even try to argue against that because yes there are times when I've made turns at night and couldn't see out the side window to check. But like af90 said if you chec out your windshield you should be able to see enough.

Again I think tints are a personal preference and at the end of te day people are going to do what they want to do

I don't do very much driving at night, but when I do, I sometimes roll the windows down if the area is extra dark. I have 20% tint, which is the darkest I've used so far. I think my last car had 30% or 35%, but still looked pretty nice and slightly dark.

WTF?? No law-abiding citizen is going to break your window and steal something out of your car because they could look inside because you didn't have tint.

Anyway, I've been in vehicles with dark tinted windows and at night you can't see anything. I didn't like that.

Ha ha, I remember the first time I was in a car with aftermarket tint--a friend of mine had his front side windows done (which is illegal here in NJ). So he picks me up one evening, and as he's backing out of my driveway I look to the side, and as noted, I can't see anything. I mention this to him, and he says he can see out the sides if he rolls down the windows, and I think to myself "um...it's winter...".

Later he tried to get through inspection by going with the windows rolled down, but they made him roll up the windows and failed him, so he took the tint off.

Just to play Devil's advocate...traffic stops are generally the most dangerous part of police work. The reason they don't like tint is because they want to be able to see if someone they are approaching on a "routine" stop is about to shoot them, etc. People who are fugitives, have outstanding warrants or have contraband in the car that they know is going to send them to jail will do some pretty crazy things if they are pulled over...talk to any LEO.

Some of you guys are in NJ, but probably aren't old enough to remember Trooper Lamonico (I hope I'm spelling that name right) who, on a "routine" speeding stop on Rt. 80 unknowingly pulled over two Weather Underground members on the FBI most-wanted list. They shot him as he exited his car, then went over and pulled up his vest and killed him with his own weapon. Anyway, that's the kind of thing cops think about when they approach a car they can't see in.

Stepping down from soapbox.

I think he is referring to what we call in LE as the "opportunist". An individual who normally wouldn't commit a crime, but when presented with the opportunity or given the chance will cave in and commit the act.
