Chicago Tint Law Stays
I have been waiting for the verdict on this appellate court case: Sudip Ray vs. City of Chicago. I'm sad to inform that the current tint law in Chicago (no tint allowed on the front windows) is here to stay.

Oh gotcha.
I thought the fronts were allowed at like 35%? Or maybe that's not Chicago... |

Within Chicago city limits, the city has held that it's "home rule" of no front window tint at all will be enforced even though the State of Illinois allows 35% like you said. The fine for violation is $250

Suburbs is fine and everytime im in the city I just park in the garage they cant issue any tickets in there. Yes its very expensive but not at a 250 dollar expense. This is why I hate downtown.

I got a ticket for this while my car was parked in a parking garage in Chicago at work. Someone on the forum sent this to me and I used it. This guy created a zip file/package of the law and instructions on what to do to beat the tint ticket. I sent the packet in and the ticket was dropped!! I had to pay nothing!

I have family in Chicago. I wonder if I plate my car in Chicago and drive in MI, will the locals leave me alone for tint? I have always wanted the U of I alumni plate anyway.

I wonder if you can also dispute if the vehicle is not registered in Chicago. If I visit Chicago, they should not be able to ticket me (no different than out of state).

I dont think it matters. The problem is once you get a ticket you have to go to court to contest it. I have never had time to go to court due to my work schedule. So, I have tried to contest similar tickets with all facts as they are required by mail. The city responds with a Judges signature that you are in violation no matter what. Additional revenue for the City

My wife just got stuck with a no plate ticket while parked in a garage on Michigan Ave. Sucks that they can go in the garages, but at least they did not ticket for the tinted windows up front.

So how would someone from another state (with legal tint in that state) handle a Chicago ticket? I understand home rule, but you should not be able to enforce home rule on equipment violations.

i've lived in the city forever and have had 35% all around on my last several cars. haven't knock on wood but i've never had a ticket for it.
i think they just use it to pull over piece of shit cars or maybe to increase parking ticket revenue.
