Well after calming down from being SOOO Pi$$ed about having to take the tint off, I have decided to take it off. Mainly out of respect for my very good friend VERN . I do understand and see the danger in walking up to a vehicle with blacked out windows at night and I have alot of friends in law enforcement and I don't believe any of them would give me any trouble about it, but I have always obeyed what the law says , most of the time anyway, so I will comply to it again.

Although it still makes me mad and the people on here that know me, Vern, and the truck I drive know that the windows are very light tinted and the back glass and back door glass are almost black, but that is from the factory and according to our Great State that is OKAY.

Tomorrow or Sunday the tint will come off, it really is easy to take off, peel it off and then take rubbing alcohol and wipe off the adhesive that is left on the glass.

I was in Law enforcement for 12 years. If a guy has in his mind to kill a cop he does not need tint to help him do it. If you pull a car over and do not feel safe tell them to get out of the car. I am not trying to start an argument, I do not even have tint. But because our state decided we could not have tint it is not going to save law enforcement officers lives. As said before we have had the law since 88 and now they just tacked it onto the vehicle inspection part. If it was that big of a deal, that it is a safety issue it would have been enforced very hard since 1988. Here is another kicker the only ones who can write the ticket are the MHP and citys with population larger than 2000. What kind of $#!+ is that? Do deputy sheriff's, game wardens or small town police not need protecting too? This is not a safety issue. This is I am big brother legeislature and I do not care what you spent to put it on, spend more to take it off. Oh by the way we need more money so if by the grace of God yours is legal, your inspection sticker is now 8.00 instead of 5.00. Read my original post, tinted vehiccles from the factory will pass. All the ford and chevy trucks with the back and side glass tinted are legal. Whats up with that, hell the back glass is the one I would want to see into, not the one where the guy is sitting. the law is total bull $#!+

if you are a law enforcement officer....and you pull over somebody and you are by yoursef, if you get scared you poor little baby then get back in your car and leave. that is your job no matter what color the windows are. deal with it.

Just look every week somewhere in this country of ours some officer is getting shot. So look at the whole picture not just as an inconvenience. And by the way big R is a crook anyway. Just picking on you alittle Robert. See Ya Vern

No offense to you Vern but every time I go home to Louisville I see cops and others in law enforcement riding around in there personal trucks with there windows blacked out. I agree 100% with you about the safety factor and I don't even have my windows tinted but if we can only have ours tinted to a certain % then they should have to abide by the same law as we do.

I agree with you Duckkiller we have to be judged under the same law as everyone else. I have tint on my truck but it is legal. As for you sunnylab I am definately not a scared little baby. You are a pecker head that when stopped would beg like a little biatch not to get a ticket. Vern

sunnylab I can assure you that he is not scared, that man writes more tickets than damn near anyone in Louisville. He is a great officer and you yourself need to think about what you would do if it was 2 or 3 in the morning and you were on a little country hwy and pulled over a car load of looters with blacked out windows.

i wasnt singling anybody out when i posted that last one. i wouldn't expect anyone to be scared in that position.....but if they were its time to get a new job.

Let me get in on this. If you strap a gun and a badge on every day and dont get in that car with some degree of fear.........you will not go home at the end of your shift. Tombstone courage has killed many a fine officer.
