First nice day in a few months, I'm on my way to work, in bumper to bumper traffic (no speeding) cop slowly comes across 3 lanes of traffic, and pulls me over.

Officer: Licsence and registration
me: ::hands over licsence and reg.::
officer: know why I pulled you over?
me: no idea officer.
officer: can you roll up your window a bit?
me: sure...::roll window a quarter of the way up::
officer: ::puts funny contraption on window:: can u see that read out?
me: yes.
officer: your tints are 14.4%, the legal limit is 70%


Here is the ticket:

its not legal to tint any front windows in all fifty states, unless its factory tinted

That is not true.
You may legally tint your window I don't know where you got that info from but it's wrong.

According to Section 375 Subsection 12-a.(b)
" No person shal operate any motor vehivel upon any public highway, road or street : (1) that the front windsheild of which is composed of, covered by or treated with any material which has a light transmittance of less than seventy percent unless such materials are limited to the uppermost six inces of the windheild; or
(2) The sidewings or side windows of which on either side foward or adjacent to the operator;s seat are composed of, covered by or treated with any material which has a light transmittance of less than severny persent.
(3) If it is classified as a station wagon, sedan, hardtop, coupe, hatchback or convertable and any rear side window hsa a light trans,ittance of less than seventy percent ; or
(4)the rear window of which is composed of, covered by or treated with any material which has a light transmittance of less than severnty percent. A rear window may have a light tansmittance of less than severnty percent if the vehicle is ewuipp[ed with side mirrors on both sides of the vehicle so adjusted that the driver thereof shall have a clear and full view of the road and condition of traffic behind such vehicle. "

Thats all of the statute.

After reading this you will see that in the NYS Vehicle and Traffic law it is not stated anywhere that it is illegal to have a tint that is not from the factory. You may have tints, but the must be less than 70%. The ennnnd.
