Default TINTED WINDOWS!!

Got a question for guys@gals stateside. Do you people get harrassed for tinted windows? is it legal in some areas? It really is gettin to be a major prob up here in Alberta, seems ya gotta have ur eyes open all the time for the checks...Some areas here they just give u a fine, and last week here in Red Deer AB. he made me tear it off right there.. LOL he even had the razor blade to help out..I got lucky he just made me tear off the drivers door, I think there was so many vehicles there he just wanted me to get moving. It was either take it off now or we impound ur truck...

We are looking at getting the windows tinted in our "mini van"

Figure it will make the back darker/cooler for the dog & help keep prying eyes off anything in the van.

Problem is we are also planning a trip out of state next summer and possibly a trip up to Sask & some states force you to remove the window tint if you are driving in that state even though your vehicle is plated/registered in a different state.

Been hemming and hawing about the tint as we don't want to be forced to remove it by some jack booted thug in a different state as we pass through.

Most states its perfectly legal to have all your windows tinted except for the drivers door, because they are worried about the cops safety but IMO if i was a cop id be worried about the "homies" in the back of the SUV not the driver
