Must disagree. Ask yourself a few questions about it.
Has there EVER been a documented case in Alberta where an officer was injured by a driver because he could not see the driver through tinted windows?
When the law was first put in place, was there a documented case in Canada of an officer being injured because he could not see the driver? How about the United States? If so, what was the rate of officer injuries per tinted window? Was it enough to justify a law?
I am not certain on the answers to these questions, but have a pretty good idea what the answers would be. I encourage you to think outside the box. How can an officer enforce a seat belt law if he can't see the driver? How can an officer enforce distracted driving legislation if he can't see the driver? Why would the province be "cracking down" on tinted windows at this time?
