I paid the summons but was lucky the LEO only wrote me for 1 window, drivers side on my Charger SRT8. He liked the car and understood why I had it, so he gave me a break. He told me a Judge in my parish hates dark windows, and to be prepared for a hefty fine when I pay it. I was thinking $150.00 tops, but I was wrong. Hope my truck is less of a magnet, but where I was stopped, (checkpoint at 6:30 AM) the LEO was standing in the middle of the road with a tint meter in his hand, it wouldn't have mattered much what I was driving, would have gotten the ticket.
Agreed, almost every LEO, 1st responder and Fire vehicles around here has 5% all around (not windshield), it really should be legal for all, south Louisiana sun/heat ain't no joke.
