You have to love Florida. No emissions testing, you can tint your windows, no front license plate, plus you can shoot and kill someone anywhere if you are in reasonable fear of your life.

Yep, gotta love MI. I had my car for 1 week, then a cop waited all day for me to get out of school only to pull me over once I started driving. I had the note from my eye doctor and he still gave me a ticket and told me to get it put on my license that I needed tint. Needless to say I removed it.

I printed off the Maryland State Code, the section in regards to vehicular window tint, and more specifically, the exceptions made for persons with medical reasons. I keep it along with my note in the glove box.
Can you post a link to it please?

Here in Cali people get their prescription and beleive it is for tinting of the windows. In reality, it is for a "sunscreening device" that has to be "temporary in nature". This is one of those old people sunshades that roll up at night. Tint is not needed at night, therefore the vehicle code makes it so when driving at night, vision is not double impaired by darkness and a layer of obscuremnt.

I wish Cali let people have some tint. Oh well.

Just remember the note will not keep you from being pulled over. The note will not stop you from getting a ticket for the tint. The note might actually precipitate the tint ticket and provoke the officer into performing an additional thorough vehicle inspection. If the officer is a trained traffic specialist, you could be on the side of the road for a very long time.
LOL Steve.

So many times I have been around to experience this. People getting pulled over and trying to explain to a "traffic specialist" what the law really means and that the officer doesn't know what they are talking about. It usually doesn't fair well for them.

I can't give you a link becuase I didn't get it from the Internet. I went to the District Courthouse, borrowed the books, and copied it with their photocopier. I'll look on the internet for it now, though

Don't you just HATE when you caught doing something illegal? And on top of that, having to PAY for it??? That just really pisses me off. Speeding, tailgating, no turn signals, drive by shootings... there should be a law making that chit a national sport. It would get all the wusses off the highways.

Kids...

Here in Va the Tint laws are strictly enforced. I am not big into the tint but it does **** me off to see the State Police with almost black out tint on the passanger and drivers side windows. It wasn't even a K9 car. If tint is bad then it's bad.... right?
