So were you surprised or were you aware of the law? What is your location...you don't have it listed!

Yeah, I mean, towing might have been a little excessive but then if it's unsafe to drive...

I do not think it is excessive at all.

A life is not a trival thing.

How pointless is window tint on a windshield especially limo tint. Not only a safety issue for you but for law enforcement as well.

Ok, if you have window tint covering your windshield, you deserved it.

I can't imagine trying to drive that in the rain at night, or at night at all.

that is retarded. 30% tint is already dark. 20% tint is too dark to drive safely at night or in fog IMO. limo tint is just stupid. you, sir, are retarded.

if it were my car, i would have just pulled the tint off before the tow truck came. but i guess if you were smart enough to limo tint the entire thing you were smart enough to not think of that.
