Default NoVA Cops anal about tint?

Searched and found abunch of threads about what the legal % tint is. I know its 50% up front and 35% rear and back windows. Just wondering how anal cops in NoVA are about having legal tint or not. I know in hampton 95% of the cops dont carry tint meters and dont really care. Ill Be living in Fairfax and i've heard the cops there are pretty much dicks although i've never had a problem with my exhaust (Mustang GT with no cats).

I've received tint tickets from FFX Co, Loudoun, and the VSP.

Pretty much every department has tint meters as they are relatively inexpensive devices. The cops that are the most anal about tint are the VSP and FFX Co.

Since you happen to drive a domestic, you really don't have to worry about being harassed.

On your car, yes. Just do 35% on the windows and 20% on the back. And you better still come visit after you move.
