Window tint no longer illegal in GA.

[BoostKillsStres]

On Monday, the state's Supreme Court overturned the law because it only applied to vehicles registered in Georgia – not out-of-state vehicles

Here's the complete story:

Join the club, Minnesota went illegal in 1985.

This is only for CARS, if you have an SUV or a van, or a pickup truck then your ok to black your windows out.

Does it strike anyone as it being odd that there's actually laws that have been passed that force maintaining a certain amount of visibility?.

Guess, it goes with having to run with the headlights on during day time. While the lighting helps in low light conditions, it makes cars less visibile in high light situations. FWIW, the first use of Stealth for Aircraft was about using lighting.

I called the congress woman here and this was her reason for the law.

"The reason cars need to be at 50% or less tint is so police officers can see into the car without a flashlight. Since more drive-by's and drug deals are done with cars the law was passed for tint. If you own an SUV or van you can tint the windows as dark as you want, because SUV owners like more privacy."

That strikes me as odd. You see more pimped out (drug dealer looking) vans and SUV's running around Minneapolis. Gang bangers cars are usually beat to hell and rusted out. Its the trucks that are all blingin an stuff.

Not only that, but do they really think the people who rob 7-11s, deal crack, and do drive-by shootings are worring about window tint? Please!
