Here's a link to windowtint.com's "tint laws by state" page. I'd start here, then pick up the phone & call the guy who'd be writing you the ticket and ask him/her about thier take on it how they enforce it.

Correct, it's a "fix it" ticket....
Sometimes you actually have to take the vehicle in or a pic of the vehicle in with the tint removed to pay the fine and get your license back.
When I got mine (pitch black front doors), I just had to pay the fine......they didn't check if I pulled it or not.

You can do the rear windows however you want. I have 2 layers of 5% tint on my rear doors, rear window and top 14" of my windshield.
Legal limit on the tint for the top of the windshield is 6".
I had a layer of 5% with a layer of 35% on top of my front doors before.......after 2.5 years I finally got pulled over for it. I removed it.
