Yes tint is a secondary offense, but the list of primary offenses is so extensive in VA, it's a moot point. For example having anything hanging from your rearview mirror= primary offense, even a air freshner. A State Cop actually tried to tell one of our agents the other day that GOVs are not exempt from VA tint laws. He was so thorughly laughed at I was told, almost made him cry.
