Md. is 35 all around, most tint places will do that for you.

If I'm driving in VA with my 35% tinted MD registered car, can the VA cops pull me over and give a ticket as well?

Don't feel bad, I've got 35% all around on top of the stock 2%... state trooper pulled me for it, tested it... got a ticket. He told me if I had the tint removed I could probably come to court and get it dropped. Instead I asked "this is a non-moving violation right?" and he said "yes ma'am." I then asked "so technically I can keep my tint on and just keep getting tickets, nothing will happen to me right?" He smiled at me and said "no ma'am." I was like "OK great, thanks." Paid my ticket, life goes on However, I try to stay off that road... that trooper probably has it in for me now, hahaha!

Nope, you can't get ticketed for that if your vehicle is registered in another state where the tint is legal.

You are WRONG! You can be ticketed for it even if you are registered in another state. It SUCKS but it is TRUE! Think about it, use your Radar detector up until the VA state line.

I'm at 40% on the sides, so I guess that I'm sunk. What good is a state inspection if they don't inspect yor car for crap you can get pulled over for?

Well, I guess I'll have to make my donation to the state, because I'm sure not going back to Ruckersville to fight it. I hate VA, the state is constantly sucking money out of my pockets for something.

Thanks guys/gals

Unless you choose to remove your tint after this ticket where you unaware of the laws, then it'll be your choice to let the state suck the money out of your pockets. I knew the tint laws -- last year I chose to put illegal tint on my car. I'll pay my tickets as they come, I know I'm breaking the law, and I am willing to pay the consequences.

my friend travis got pulled over for 10mph over and the cop was harassing about his tint. when the trooper took his license back to the squad car travis started ripping the tint off his front windows. state trooper comes back and said "wow, i've never seen someone do that shit before.. im not writing you a ticket for the tint but ive already wrote the one for speeding so i cant tear it up "
