Question on the subject of Window Tinting?

Question by b house: Question on the subject of Window Tinting? I am looking into getting my car windows tinted. I'm getting it mainly for security purposes, the sun doesn't bother me very much. Anyway, my question is, are cops fairly lenient on the darkness of the tint. I often see cars in my town with pitch black tint and many people I know don't really catch heat from the police. I also want to get the darkest tint possible, but not at the cost of a ticket and having to remove something I payed good money for. The tint regulation where I live is 28% VLT I think. Do you think that will be dark enough to deter thieves. Also, if it's not pitch black or close to it, what is the next darkest that I could get away with? And will i be able to find shops to bend the rules a little and install it for me? Any help/advice is much appreciated and thank you.

I don't know what state you're in, but here in NY you can black out your back window and your back passenger windows.... but up front i wouldn't push it. it doesn't matter if your friends get tickets or not, they may have a parent thats a cop or judge or whatever. do whats best for you, and in either case, 28% tint is dark enough at night to deter any window-browsing thief.
