got a ticket a couple of months ago for my rear window being too dark..

A friend of mine got pulled over because her car was 35% all the way around in Chesapeake and she didn't want to pay for the fine and so she came to our shop and I wrote her a ticket saying she had it taken off and it got dismissed. But I think tint laws are really gay especially having 50% in the front. But we done mine 35% all the way around and I got pulled in Chesapeake for exhaust and he didn't mention anything about the tint.

I have 5% all around except the winshield and I never get pulled over for it. Once I did in the NoVA area I got a ticket(2 years ago), and I got pulled over last summer on VA Beach strip a few times, but didn't get a ticket(I guess mainly cause I got an out of state license plate)...but other than that, in the 757 area I never get pulled over.

There little measuring box generates its own light. I was pulled and measured at 1100pm. 15% all the way around

Yeah, but 50% is the legal limit for the front windows....

Kinda true, cause I've been around the 757 area with 5% tint and I never get a second look(except on the VA Beach strip). When you have multiple violations like you did, they more likely to get you.
