I've had to had mine scrapped a few times...but they were nothing but fix-it tickets even in nazifornia. I can't see how tint would be a misdemeanor unless he didn't pay the ticket and/or fix it.

Yes, I pay taxes. I have a job, and file my taxes. But then what's the use of fining for tickets? Do they take that money and just sit in the corner somewhere, since taxes pay for the officers. Well no, the tickets help fund police programs. All programs need more funding, so why not use the tickets to fund police stations? Think about this, you have to pay the officers, fuel, electricity, utilities, and all of those other things, and you need money to pay for it. Taxes don't just go to law enforcement, it goes to several other things.

And if you're from out of state, cops target you all that much more. My stepdads father got one ticket in his life for speeding. He was in the center lane of traffic, surrounded front and back by other vehicles. Speed limit 50, everyone was going 75. Out of everyone, he got pulled over. Reason is because more than likely people out of state always pay their ticket rather than fight it, so they can get back home on schedule.

My brother also got a scrape it or pay it once. $92 for his two windows. This cop also told him to get off his 5% tint on the back window. I remember that because my mom got all pissed for him having that dark tint on the back.

Don't live in a police state. Move and take your tax dollars with you. That is your most powerful weapon. I have 15% on my front side windows, and nothing happens.

I read in a four wheeler magazine about a guy that moved to another state east of NY and he had a Jeep liberty w/the factory lights on the roof w/covers and they would not even let him register it in that state(can't remember which one). So he said he had to sell it back in the state he came from. WTF over!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This IS still America is it not???

Bingo.... this happened to me in CA back in early 2001. I was speeding (admittedly), but I was in the middle of at least 8 cars, and we were doing over on a major interstate near LA. A motorcycle officer pulled me out of the group.

On the plus side, it was one of the cheapest tickets I've ever had, and CA had online traffic school. While I know I was speeding, I'm sure I was targeted because of my AZ plates.

Colorado window tinting laws


Colorado Window Tint Law

Colorado Tint Law Enacted: 1995
HOW DARK CAN WINDOW TINT BE IN COLORADO?

Darkness of tint is measured by Visible Light Transmission percentage (VLT%). In Colorado, this percentage refers to percentage of visible light allowed in through the combination of film and the window.
Windshield Non-reflective tint is allowed on the top 4 inches of the windshield. Front Side Windows Must allow more than 27% of light in. Back Side Windows Must allow more than 27% of light in. Rear Window Must allow more than 27% of light in. HOW REFLECTIVE CAN THE TINT BE IN COLORADO?

Similar to sunglass lenses, some tinting film contain metallic elements that help in reflecting incoming light and reducing the glare and heat generated by visible light.
Front Side Windows No metallic or mirrored appearance. Back Side Windows No metallic or mirrored appearance. OTHER COLORADO RULES AND REGULATIONS
Restricted Colors The tint color(s) of RED AMBER are not legal by state law. Side Mirrors Dual side mirrors are required if back window is tinted. Certificate Requirements Manufacturers of film do NOT need to certify the film they sell in the state. Sticker Requirements State law recommends but does not require stickers to identify legal tinting.
