Section 73(3) Colour Coating Obscuring Interior
I received a ticket the other day because the officer determined that my window tint was too dark - in his opinion. I asked him to measure it and he advised that he didn't have to. He did have me roll my window up and down so that he could confirm his initial assessment. He didn't change his mind. Has anyone else ever received a ticket for such a vague law? The law states that you cannot apply a tint that substantially obscures the interior when viewed from outside. My tint is 30% and I believe that this tint moderately obscures, but does not substantially obscure, the interior when viewed from outside. That is what I purchased 6 years ago when I had it applied. I've contacted several companies to price removal of the tint and they all feel that 30% should not be considered as violating the law. I guess my question is, do courts care about my opinion or is it only the police officers opinion that matters. Does it matter that the officer was looking through tinted sunglasses? Most importantly, is there a definition for "substantially obscures".
