    That doesn't seem right, when I lived in Arizona they allowed a much darker tint. I knew I had to change it when I moved here and I did. But if I was visiting, how can they give me a ticket for something that is legal in my home state? Again, I don't know the law.

    they can. they removed the old tint law because it only applied to ga residents. the new one applies to everyone.

    correct, someone with enough money and a great attorney pulled some strings and argued the previous tint law was unconstitutional because it only applied to residents....and they won. The tint law went away for a year or so while it was run back through the steps and rewritten to apply to ALL applicable vehicles.
