Beware...Tint Check Point Queens
Got pulled over in Queens on Northern Blvd off the Cross Island PKWY. They seem to be doing tint checks. Got away with just one ticket for rear window. Metered and everything. I could of got ticket for all four windows but had a PBA card. sucks but there out. Just wanted to give you guys a heads up if passing through.

i just got 2 for each front side window last night.
the cop says he could've gave me 3 more for the back but the law says its ok in the back if you have side view mirrors. let us know if u r found guilty for that |

practically? nothing.
NYS law is 70% light transmitted. which is pretty much clear. i have 30% tint that when combined with the tint in the glass, rings the meter at about 26% light transmitted

What is light transmittance? If clear glass has a light transmittance of 100 percent, than any type of tint or film that is placed on the glass to impede the outside light from transmitting through the glass to the inside would lessen the light transmittance. If half of the light from the outside is blocked by the tint then the light transmittance would be fifty percent. Rear Windows: The rear most window can be tinted to any percentage IF the vehicle is equipped with side rear view mirrors on both sides.

i've had a few run ins over tint.
luckily, there have been times when i got double tint tickets instead of speeding tickets, i would much rather pay for a tint ticket than speeding

Haha, do you hand them the eagle scout card along with your license and registration? I thought there was a no tint policy for NJ because some cops got shot after pulling some one over with tints?
