    Here in PC, getting pulled over for your tint was a high school thing. I havent heard many people now who run into that kind of problem and most of us have 5% or 6%. Did you guys get a new law or something? I don't really see why they worry so much. If everyone obeys signals and signs, it shouldnt matter whether they can see you. They are all nosy and want to know if you are smoking up.. is all.. I think.

    picture this:

    you're a cop and you've just pulled over a car that fits the description of a vehicle that was carjacked at gunpoint. now do you want to be able to see into the car to make sure they aren't armed or trying to hide someting, or do you just saunter up and tap on the window hoping they don't bust a cap in your ass because they don't wanna spend a night in jail?

    oh yeah, and last time i checked "smoking up" was illegal, so how exactly does that make them nosy if they catch you doing it? it's their job to enforce the laws, if you're caught doing something against those laws then you can't be mad at anyone but yourself.

    Okay, yeah you did get me on that one. But we dont have stuff like that here. I guess you just dont hear much about it. I am naive about the peeps killing officers. But very good point. I guess so, but from my point of view, I just like it darker tint, looks better. LoL

    you never have armed robberies or car thefts in PC? come on now... there's plenty of it, especially in a tourist town like that.

    Can't he just scream out his PA "Please lower all your windows and shut the car off" or "Please step out of the vehicle"????

    the point of a pa is so you don't have to scream...you can calmly talk into it and it makes it loud....also he shouldn't have to tell you to roll down your windows or shut your car off that is common sense...if you get pulled over you obviously need to roll down your window to communicate witht the cop....and if you shut the car off on your own it shows them you are not goin to try and drive off and they are more relaxed and easy with you....also they usually don't ask you to get out of the vehicle right off the bat unless you have done somthin seriously wrong or that have reason to believe you are goin to try and drive off

    that's the idea...that's why alot of people have said roll down your windows when he is walkin up so he cannot see how dark they are but either way if you tint your windows limo or such it is clearly because you have somthing to hide or somthing....most people do not black out their windows just for the heck of it
