Can't imagine dirty glass wouldn't skew the readings, and the window he tested had bird crap, etc on it (no place to park at home except under trees ).
#PA TINTED WINDOW LAW MANUAL#
I've been trying to find an instruction manual for the tint meters online, but have been unsuccessful so far. My issue is also the fact that he didn't clean the window AT ALL. Knew I should have fixed that evaporator. Says he noticed it because the two front windows were down. Would be one thing if I was already stopped and he noticed it, but it's another to stop someone solely for it. I feel a warning and fix-it ticket would have been sufficient, and can't believe these guys have nothing better to do than stop people for petty crap like this. Honestly, my goal is (naturally) to beat it. I travel the road 5 days a week, and I'm afraid he may "look" for me then.
My worry about not removing it is running into the same cop again. Ticket came to $127.50, which after all of the fees is probably the lowest ticket issued in PA (fine itself was only $25). My only worry is removing the tint on the rear glass and damaging the defroster grid. Īnyway, I don't WANT to remove it, but will if need-be. Wouldn't think I could be operating the vehicle 7 times at once.

And then the administrative code says there must be 70 light transmittence. Not sure how that works as the actual violation is for OPERATING the vehicle that way. 45 75 Section 4524 (e) (1) (1) No person shall drive any motor vehicle with any sun screening device or other material which does not permit a person to see or view the inside of the vehicle through the windshield, side wing or side window of the vehicle. He also said that he COULD fine me for each window that is tinted (7 total), but would only do one and warn me for the rest. He didn't realize that I am still an inspection mechanic and know for a fact that tint is no longer an inspection item in PA (used to be, but was removed and left up to the police to enforce). When I said that I bought the car in 2005 and it came that way, he responded with "the mechanic that wrote the inspection sticker can lose his inspection license". Upset me though that he tried to intimidate me a bit. Rear window: Any tint darkness can be used. Back seat side windows: Any tint darkness can be used. Front seat side windows: up to 70 tint darkness allowed. Front Windshield: Must allow more than 70 of light in, any darkness on top 3 inches. Even mentioned I could respond by mail and not see anyone at all. Pennsylvania Tint Law Legal Tint Limit For Multi-Purpose Vehicles. Oddly, the cop never mentioned having to PROVE I removed it.
