most aftermarket tints are too dark and dont allow pedestrians to see into the car to see if they going to be hit by the driver. its illegal in most places but cops dont do anything about it.


In eastern europe they do. It's a decent revenue stream. The loop for many friends is:

Put on tint.

Get pulled over (hopefully) a while later

Police demand you remove it and usually write you a ticket for ~50 eur

Maybe you plead that the car is your dad's if it's not registered to you and get to keep the tint if they decide to do you a favor

Otherwise you remove it and go pay another X eur a week later to have new one put on

Since there's no license point deduction, it's just a money/inconvenience issue.


Yeah, they do.
