Talking The bill is law

FINALLY PASSED

"here are the NOW LEGAL tint combinations. Up to 35% in the Rear/up to 35% front 35-30% in the rear/up to 50% front IF YOU HAVE BELOW 30% TINT IN THE REAR, YOU CAN NOT HAVE FRONT TINT If you have an MPV, which include but are not limited to, SUVs, Station Wagons, minivans, Toasters, etc., and said MPV has factory installed privacy glass (smoked), you are allowed to have up to 50% tint in front."
"you can't have lower than 30% on the back if you want your front doors tinted."


Thanks to Dave and Todd from the Illinois House Bill 3325 Facebook page for all the valuable updates.

Angry So unlucky

I hate cops.
So today I decide to get my front windows tinted with 18% to finish off my back windows. Not even 8 hours later I drive past a cop in a parking lot and he turns around to follow me. I'm like is this guy serious. So he pulls me over farther down the stree and gives me a ticket for tint. I couldn't even roll down the windows to try n hide it b/c that would mess up the tint.
So the ticket is $50 and I have to pay in the next 5 days in the mail. Should I just pay it and be done with it or blow off the ticket? Either way, I dont think I'll be removng my tint. What do u guys think I should do?

Can I make a case about the new law was in affect and the cop said he had no idea and didn't check the % on the windows? Or just screw it? It's just really frustrating that in mu first day with front tint I get a ticket.

Touché. I actually got a ticket my first day with front tint (read a few posts up), which is absolutely incredible. Fortunately it was only $50 since I'm out in the suburbs.

Post some pictures if your Illinois legal with your tints so we can see how it looks, nobody at the meet could say they were 100% legally front tinted.

Have you even seen 35% tint? It doesn't help much with keeping the sun out.. My 20% barely gets the job done.. and @ your statement about getting 5% tint like some 16yr. old... your a fucking tool.

Edit* You rly wanna help your 2 young kids and the sun? ..get some actual sunshades in the rear.
