Not true; just because it can be legally sold doesn't mean it can legally used on automobiles, on public roadways.

Wow. Almost every other car I see has tinted windows. Even darker than mine here in Cali. The same
Goes with the lights. I guess it's up to the cop.

You'll find that a lot of LEO's make an issue out of dark tinted windows because they're not too fond of walking up on a traffic stop at night and not being able to see what's going on inside the car until it might be too late! Think about it from their point of view. If you stopped someone late at night wouldn't you like to have an idea what is or isn't going on in that car before you got up to the drivers side window?

Well for those that have gotten a ticket due to speeding, were your windows tinted? And did did they give you a ticket for that as well?

I get you. My windows are tinted but still enough to see through in what I'm doing. Or what I'm doing to a girl :X

I spent $180 so I'll leave it until if or when a cop pulls me over.

Let me recommend this to those of you that may be pulled over in the future.

1. Roll down all of your windows.
2. Turn off your car and place the keys on the dash.
3. Turn on all cabin lights if it is dark.
4. Keep both hands on the steering wheel.
5. BE RESPECTFUL!

Following these easy steps can make or break the outcome of your car stop...
