Dark tint
Most states have pretty strict laws when it comes to window tinting on your vehicle. Florida has pretty lenient laws compared to other states but are these strict laws really a safety issue for officers? Maybe!
This discussion is not to say yes or no to that question, only to think about both the pros and cons.
Most people roll the windows down when they are pulled over by the police when they have dark or illegal window tint. So when the officer is walking up to the car there is no tint in the doors to prevent vision in or out of the vehicle. Usually this is done in an attempt to try to prevent from getting a ticket. If they don’t roll the windows down this is going to make anyone walking up to the vehicle more cautious.
A car without tint the police might walk up to the vehicle without caution, and you can’t see what is below the door. I’m sure it would make the police very nervous to approach a vehicle that he can not see in, but that could save his/her life.
On the other hand it could be safer for the people they are trying to protect in the first place. Aside from the obvious fact that it saves you money by protecting your interior and possibly lowering fuel costs and making the vehicle much cooler; it also makes it safer for anyone traveling alone. Why you ask; think about it! It’s a lot less likely for someone to try something if he can’t see in the car. There could be a 300 pound 6’5″ guy in the car or worse. Lets face it criminals are a lot less likely to try anything if they don’t know who, or what is in the car.
This can also save you from a smash and grab. If you don’t know it’s there, you probably would not be trying to get it. Did you or anyone you know ever leave anything in your car only to have it stolen? If the person responsible did not know it was there do you think they would have stolen it?
If you are going for heat rejection; it used to be the darker the tint the better the heat rejection, but that is no longer the case. With new technology and specialty films you can obtain as high or higher heat rejection with an almost clear film than you can with darker illegal window films.

Thanks for the information provided! I was looking for this information for quite some time, but I wasn’t able to see a dependable source.
This weblog seems to get a good amount of visitors. How do you get traffic to it? It offers a nice individual twist on things. I guess having something real or substantial to say is the most important factor.
It was interesting to read your post Tint Laws | blog.
The information you provide is great. A lot of good points are raised. And personally, I think that if a Police Officer runs your tag and see’s that your car/driver has a clean record, that you should not be ticketed and have as dark of tint that like on your vehicle. I wish this could be possible, but the owner of the car is not always the driver of the car. Also, some towns, such as my own, really don’t bother with illegally dark windows. It’s truly a matter of where you reside and the environment your in.
