I'm with justcharlie. The police here in Virginia suck. I'm in the richmond area and tint only been on my windows for no more then a month and been pulled for it already. Well didn't use a turn signal got pulled for that then questioned about the tint. funny Story actually.
Cop asks me to get out and I do (dressed up for work and lookin nice). says that my windows do not look to be legal limit and if I would mind him checking the percentage. I say of course not and that you will find my windows to be of legal limit under virginia law. My front windows are 50% and backs are 20% (normally should be 35% for most cars) and before the cop says something I continue with. Under Virginia law "Muli-Purpose Vehicles" can have the back windows no darker then 20% these vehicles include but not limited to Trucks, Vans, SUV's and Wagons. This is a Mazda Protege5 Wagon and falls under the 20% darkness catagory.
He smiles and walks back to his car for a few minutes comes back with his lil dodad(technical term) checks my windows and they come back fine. He then asks if I checked the Virginia law b/c what I told him what almost exactly what he was told when he checked on that while in his car. Of course I did check the laws and wanted my car as dark as possable. told me to have a nice day and off I went no tickets no warnings.
Just know your laws and ways to bend them.
