Tinted front windows

[jl123]

Is there an exemption that allows LEO vehicles to have tint on the front door windows?

Not according to the cop that I just bought my car from. It's a stupid law and I'm glad somebody can break it as much as they want.

I'm talking about official vehicles.....marked patrol cars.

Hate to thread Hijack, but....

Are Leo's also exempt from Cell Phone use while driving patrol cars??

yes, there is an exemption for them.

23123(d) This section does not apply to an emergency services professional using a wireless telephone while operating an authorized emergency vehicle, as defined in Section 165, in the course and scope of his or her duties.

I can't think of an instance where I would like my marked patrol vehicle's front windows tinted. I don't even want the rear ones tinted either, unless I'm K9.

That being said, I'm not too picky on side windows tinted but putting 5% on your windshield will get as many violations as I can find.

Windshield tint is just stupid.

I've seen Crown Vics and Tahoes assigned to SWAT that are pretty much completely tinted... makes it harder to see the guys inside wearing 90lbs of tactical gear until they get out to "knock" on the suspect's front door.

Dark front door tint makes it hard to even see in the windshield, as it is so dark inside.
