Just have a few questions about the legality of an officer testing window tint on vehicles. I have been pulled in the past and have always complied with the officers request, but now that I am a little older I question sometimes if I am being too nice and should have a better understanding of things.
In VA the tint laws are currently 50% front windows, 35% rear windows including passenger rear(if sedan). If i am going down the road and both of my front windows are down all the way(not visible), but an officer sees my rear windows and suspects they are too dark, can he legally ask me to roll up my front window to test the % even though they where down when he had the suspicion?
Am I obligated to roll up the window if asked? If i had them down when he pulled me, what would they have to do with his suspicion if he based his finding on my rear windows and the law for the front and rear windows are different?
Last question, if you have received multiple tickets for window tint in a vehicle, is there something the officer/state can do to your vehicle if you don't comply and fix it? After how many times would this be?
