Legal tint laws for Arizona?
|
I have been driving with the same tint on my windows for the last 5 years and four of those years in Phoenix, AZ where it was originally tinted. I was recently pulled over in Quartzsite, AZ for the tint and I told the officer that this has never been an issue in Phoenix. I have checked websites and pretty much understand that there should be 33% visibility in the windshield, which there is, so I am not understanding the reason for the ticket. Small town, different laws?

Friendly Stranger..

Actually you are correct in your assessment. What I have found is that the tint laws are excercised differently throughout state lines. Some police officers are more strict in certain areas than others. This is true for all states. When you cross certain state lines officers do not always have the same measures of assesssing requirements and laws. This is true with speed, vehicle requirements, traffic laws. Yes there is a general law for traffic requirements but some rules are bent slightly depending on what area you are in. Also a problem may be that the officer that pulled you over does not fully understand the tint laws for that state. It is the officers job to understand the laws regarding you the driver so there is no false accusation. If you feel that you were falsely accused then you can talk to the police station in that area and find out what they consider to be against the rules regarding tinting your windows.
Edit: Also don't be afraid to contest the ticket if you feel that you were falsely accused. You may win or may not, but at least you tried. |
