There are many "theories" as to
why window tinting is illegal. The best way to answer the question "why" is summed up by a police officer himself:
Quote:
The bottom line is that every state (province) has different reasons for why they pass different laws, and short of researching the legislative process, its not always going to be clear.
There are always many factors that play into why a legislator votes for a certain thing. Some of the legislators might have voted to pass that law because lobbying groups for traffic safety got their support in favor of increasing safety by prohibiting things that decrease driver vision. Law Enforcement lobbying groups might have convinced other legislators to vote for the same bill because of increased officer safety.
As best as I can tell, those are the two primary concerns when it comes to vehicle tint. (officer safety and driver's vision impairment) If you want more detail, go to your state's (province's) library/archives and request coppies of the minutes from the legislative session that led to that law's passing.

Bottom line: It's illegal. Does it really matter "why"?
