There is another recent thread on this but I thought my experience was worth sharing. It cleared up a thing or two for me.
This thread has a lot of info and is pretty recent:
Is Window Tinting a Magnet for DOT?
I even posted on that thread saying I wasn't worried about my tint and had never been bothered. Karma's a #####.
I got pulled over last Friday at the TN/KY line by a KY DOT guy. He was actually super cool. Gave me a quick level 3 and didn't check my log, which had lots of PC on it this week. He simply asked if my log was caught up and of course I said yes.
When he walked up to the truck he had a window tint meter in his hand and said the law had changed recently to where CMV's could not have any tint on side windows due to a surge in fatalities? BS, but whatever. What I'm pointing out here is that he said the law had 'recently changed' so watch your butts out there. He did not say whether it was just KY where I was, so who knows.
Also this, I mentioned he was pretty cool. After all of my docs checked out he came back to the truck and said "I tell all O/O's this. If you want to keep your tint go to a doctor and get a note saying you need it for glare or whatever and always keep the note in your truck." Super nice of him to do that. I had heard this of course but never knew if it was BS or not.
I called my eye doctor right away and had a note the next day. My doctor was real careful with his wording in the note where it basically gives me the pass I need without him being liable.
So, it can be done. I'll see if I get hassled more before I decide to pull it off or not.
