When you go to court the judge isn't coming out to look at your tint, so does it come down to your word against the cop?
My tint guy will put any % tint on your windows but gives you a receipt for the legal %. So for example I can have 5% tint but if I show up with my receipt for the legal % written to my car info vin# & plate, how does the cop prove I have illegal tint at court?

The meter is calibrated yearly by a technician.. and is tested second before it is placed on your vehicle with a tinted lens. The lens tells the officer what it's % is... he confirms that through the digital reading on the meter.

Ok so much like with a speeding summons & radar there is now a tintmeter that cops carry to check tint. How common is a tintmeter to the average patrol officer or is it only state troopers & highway officers?
Damn the job has changed since I retired.
