Tinted Windshield

I wouldn’t even have any if it weren’t for sooooome people on here ....
I have 50% on my windshield and 30% on my side windows, all ceramic. I have this set up on every vehicle I own (not my Ram), including 30% on my trucks sunroof. There are no issues with seeing at night. It is nice to have the extra tint on really bright days, even with sunglasses on. It also helps keep the heat out of the vehicle since the ceramic reflects the heat and sun rays. It isn't dark enough that someone can't see your outline.
I have never been hassled by cops in Indiana, Kentucky, or Ohio. My eye doctor told me if I ever did to let her know and she'd write me a prescription for the tinted windshield.

Thought that was SOP
That is why you carry spares.
I put clear ceramic on the windshield of this
which is 2.5x more surface area than a TJ windshield, and sloped at ~25°. I think it helps with the Texas sun.
For the Jeeps just wear sunglasses; you need all the light you can get after dark. Seeing an animal or pedestrian just a bit sooner can make all the difference.

That's why Va has laws about how dark the side windows can be and a definite no on windshield tinting.
Do the cop cars follow the same laws? I know here majority of the cops here have almost painted windows they are so dark. The last time I was pulled over for a tint issue on my side windows, I fought the ticket in court. It got dropped because I had a picture of the officers car and requested a tint percentage on his car to the judge. The judge basically called the cop a hipocrite and tossed the ticket. The court fee was even waived.
LEO’s have an exemption here.
So the rules for the people aren't good enough for the rules of the enforcers. IMO, that isn't right.
That’s why I don’t feel bad about having a prescription
The laws against tinting are for their safety.
Why would they have to abide by it.
No different than them having emergency lights and not you.
How does one get a prescription for something that's illegal?
Seems to me if you can't drive without it (and you can't have it), then you can't drive.
There are zero laws that says you can't have emergency lights, you just can't operate them on the road. Tint laws are not for officer safety, they are for obvious visibility issues with darker tint.The laws against tinting are for their safety.

They have to abide by it the same way they have to abide by speed limits when not responding to an emergency with lights/sirens. Laws are laws. Saying LEO's don't have to abide by them is like saying they can get away with murder because they are a LEO.
Your eye doctor gives you one. Certain eye conditions are effected by the sun. Tint or very dark sunglasses can overcome these issues. Hell, one side effect of Lasik is sun light and reflections and the military will still let you fly after having Lasik.
Narcotics are illegal, yet people get prescriptions all the time for them.
They put an exemption in the law for people with a prescription. Likely it’s for the assholes that wrote the laws friends or themselves.
