Having inspection stations enforce this law will mean nothing. 

 

This is what will happen. 

 

 Before the yearly inspection is due,  bring the car to the window tint shop to take off the dark tint from the front windows for a small fee ( $20-$25 per window).  

 

The vehicle will be in compliance and pass inspection with clean front windows. 

 

Go back to window tint shop after the inspection and put the dark tinting back on ( Approx $100 for both windows ).  Repeat this every year.  A total cost of .50 cents per day.  It may even be a lucrative law for window tint shops.  

 

I'm sorry but the government is trying to do something well intentioned but not thinking it through.

Its still illegal to have the dark tint on the front windows. We use to write summons for it. When people put very dark tint on a car it was usually for a reason. We would often find other violations during the stop. While we did not have the light meter to determine the exact amount oft tinting, the local judge accepted that if we could not see the drivers hands on the wheel, then the window were too dark. He often said that the subject was free to appeal his decision but no one ever did.  Word got around quick and we actually saw a reduction in tinted windows  I don't know if it is still being enforced.
