In the Atlanta GA area the police have light meters and anything that blocks more then 75% of the light gets ticketed and you have to have it removed. The problem is some factory tint fails the test.

Although I did run into a tint inspection up north. The cop had a meter in his car that measured the amount of light that passed thru you tint. If it was illegal, he gave you the ticket right there. No tint on windshields, no less then 50% in front side windows, and you could have 10% in back.....meaning nearly no light getting thru the tint.

Here in southern calie you can tint all windows except front driver, passsenger and windshield (strip is allowed). I have 25% tint on my f-250 crews front two windows, came from factory with privacy glass in rear. Matched up nicely. I have been pulled over several times, bald headed latino with loud music is cause for suspicion in my neck of the woods. I roll down all windows, and as polite, and respectful as can be, needless to say I've never got a ticket for tint.
