Will cops pull you over for 50% front tint?

I bought the car with already tinted windows. I'm not sure what the % is but I would guess around 50% all around. It's pretty light.... I drive by the Milpitas Police Station all the time and also by the station in downtown San Jose (around the courthouse). Even next to cops.... I've been lucky for the past 2.5 years I guess....

I've had 35% tint on my 2 front windows for over 9 years on various cars while living in Sunnyvale and San Jose, no fix-it tickets. Lack of front plate gets more negative police attention.

i guess a good way to help with the tint ticket is to pull down ur front windows when u see a cop ![Smilie](https://www.clublexus.com/forums/images/smilies/smile.gif)
NorCal always has good weather for pulling down the windows!

i was thinking about getting tint on my sc, but really it has two small windows and the rear windshield, kinda a waste of money, especially if im trying to save up...
