The lighter the better, IMO. Really dark tint looks cheap to me.

I had 5% on all 4-doors and 50% on the windshield years ago in an OEM+ 330i ZHP(black, stock wheels, stock tail-lights, and no-no speaker system) I was being pulled over for no reason monthly and given a bullsh** tint ticket- dark tint is unneeded trouble, no matter the car unless you're being driven...and I'm not of that category

If you cannot see the drivers face it is dangerous, period. That includes policemen/women.

My favorite tint related violation was what happened to my office assistant. She bought a used car a few years ago (she's in her 70's) and she and her husband got pulled over 5 minutes after leaving the lot for a tint violation. She rolled down the window and the cop's eye's popped out of his head. No ticket. LMAO.

I don't need hassles. Front Plate, check. No Tint, check. Valentine One, Check. Dashcam front and rear, check.

I'm in NYC I have Shields and also PBA cards the few times I've been pulled over it was a 20-sec convo, high-end vehicles they don't mess with as much and ill be dammed if I ever put front plates on my vehicles, not including my work truck.

My wife used to work as representation in this line of work, trust me, I get it. Much respect to the men and women on duty, they see the worst of people. God bless them and all they do.

Don't get me wrong- Now years later, I completely understand the reasoning for pulling over a car,not seeing what is going on inside and the dangers and risk behind both parties involved. But to respond to the OP, the "probable cause" and hassle of being pulled over entirely...No- it is not worth it to get 5% tint. Especially if you're the type of person who has a drink or two at dinner and decides to drive.

You know officer James Casey? Has his own Facebook spotted page and he don't like me one bit. It's not like I blend in much and I try to avoid his usual spots but he's always in my area so it's kind of difficult. . I can handle the no front plate tickets (3 so far) but tack on tinted windows he'll be pulling me over every second day. Yes the 3 plate tickets were from him.

Btw. Has nothing to do with Toronto or Ottawa it's a provincial law. Most cops don't bother...probably less so in Toronto.
