    I'm alright with that. I think the safety factor is worth the small sacrifice a small sector of the population would have to make. It's not like we live in Texas or anything up here.
    Interested in vintage cars? Ever thought about racing one?

    I'm more curious at how the state plans to actually enforce this now. There are a LOT of cars in NYC with illegal tints.

    This time it has something to do with not passing the NYS ISP i think...

    I doubt that most Tint shops are gonna want to take a fine because someone wanted Limo tint..(looks great though) This aint Florida or NV. If anything it just means that a lighter will be in order...

    just went to get inspection and had to rip out front tints!!! im furious - this is america, car is personal property. you dont feel safe dont become a fking cop, or just make a law to roll down windows at a stop. cop is inherently a dangerous job, again this is america its their job to make us feel safe not the other way around. im tired of a government that thinks i work for them, they fking work for us the people. first thing i did was get my windows retinted

    You re tinted them.
    That's what a lot of people do. I used to get them re tinted every 2 years just because they never lasted. All this means that i will get them done EVERY year now.
    Cheers

    Got my inspection done. They didn't even bother checking nor I've been pulled over because of it. Try going to a different shop next time.
