The only time an officer needs to worry about windows being tinted to darkly is when dealing with a potential criminal or a known criminal at a stop or orherwise. Since that person is already a criminal, they're not gonna follow the law about tinting, so tinting laws are pretty useless as they only affect law abiding citizens.

That's just my take on it. I do come from a LEO family, so understand both sides, just don't necessarily agree fully.
If only criminals all dressed the same and drove the same car with a specially marked plate. Unfortunately not that easy. You never know who you're stopping. Never.
