sorry to hear that about your buddy. anway, i will speak from the other side, i'm a police officer where i live and in ny state, the level of light that needs to come through is 70%. now in ny state, you can tint your rear door windows and your back window as dark as you want. only the windshield and the front door windows are in question. he got charged with a misdemeanor? here it's just an equipment violation and if you fix it, the ticket gets dismissed.
