Law enforcement officers are always nervous when approaching a motor vehicle with unknown occupants. They want to be able to see the driver and the occupants. This way they can identify the driver and occupants and allows them to see if there are any weapons in the vehicle or unusual behaviour from any of the occupants. Reduced tinting provides them with a comfort level they feel they need to perform their jobs, when pulling over or approaching motor vehicles

ok.. so using exactly what you wrote, how does tinted front windows make it any safer, when you have no idea whats going on in the back seat? Remember there could be 3 passengers in the back seat all with guns pointed at the officer as he approaches.

Not to mention right in "your" paragraph it says reduced tinting. You don't even really know what we're talking about do you?

Why is any tinting legal if it's such a big concern?

I know this is all "what ifs" but that's what the law's based off. No facts, nothing..

I'll say it again, if it's soo imperative to the officers safety that the front windows can't be tinted, why do some of the most dangerous places in N.A. allow it?

And sorry, but this is a KNOWN risk when you apply to any force. If you aren't comfortable confronting an unknown person as a LEO, then it's time to consider a career change.
