The average person does not know much about window tinting, so it is good that someone is taking the time to put high quality material out there to inform and educate. It helps the small business owner like me. We recently opened a window tinting operation here in Richmond Virginia, and we like to come across things like this. You did a wonderful job. Keep up the good work!

Directly across the Illinois border for window tint. I have 35% tint all the way around. The officer used a meter to measure my window darkness. I saw 29% before he quickly removed it. I was issued a $127.50 ticket. There was no attitude involved...nothing. Not only did I get a ticket but the "meter" scratched my window tint..actually TORE it. I visited a professional local window tinter and was told the tint was definitely 35% and no darker.<br /><br /><br />So fair warning to anyone that gets pulled over for window tint. Doesnt matter what you have.. 50%..35%.. If they use a meter it WILL ruin your tint.. and they are not liable. They do what they want..when they want.. how they want. Dont believe me?

According to the Sec of state each city ect can make their laws stricter than the state law if it is in reguards to a moving ordinance such as speed limits and citations that would be considered moving violations they can't however do this with nonmovers.

I contested the ticket by mail and it was dismissed (I did not have to show up for a hearing). Below is a copy of the letter I sent to get the ticket dismissed, feel free to use it:<br /><br />City of Chicago Department of Revenue<br />P.O. Box 88298<br />Chicago, IL 60680-1298<br /><br />Dear Sir or Madam:<br />On November 9, 2009 I was issued a violation notice for my vehicle (license plate # xxxxxxx) which was legally park on a Chicago city street. The violation (issue no. xxxxxxx) was for having smoked/tinted windows while parked (code: 0976220B). I believe that this violation was issued erroneously. Illinois Public Act 096-0815 (Found at: http://www.ilga.gov/legislation/publicacts/fulltext.asp?Name=096-0815), an act regarding changes to sections 3-412 and 12-503 of the Illinois Vehicle Code, states that:<br /><b>(a-5) No window treatment or tinting shall be applied to the windows immediately adjacent to each side of the driver, except: <br /> (1) on vehicles where none of the windows to the rear <br /> of the driver's seat are treated in a manner that allows <br /> less than 30% light transmittance, a nonreflective tinted <br /> film that allows at least 50% light transmittance, with a <br /> 5% variance observed by any law enforcement official <br /> metering the light transmittance, may be used on the side <br /> windows immediately adjacent to each side of the driver. <br /> (2) on vehicles where none of the windows to the rear <br /> of the driver's seat are treated in a manner that allows <br /> less than 35% light transmittance, a nonreflective tinted <br /> film that allows at least 35% light transmittance, with a <br /> 5% variance observed by any law enforcement official <br /> metering the light transmittance, may be used on the side <br /> windows immediately adjacent to each side of the driver. </b><br /><br />This Act was signed into law on October 30, 2009 and became effective immediately (Section 99), a full ten days before my violation was issued. As my vehicle falls well within the standards set forth in said Act (all windows on the vehicle are treated to allow at least 50% light transmittance, except for the lone rear window, which allows no less than 35% light transmittance) and no light transmittance meter reading was provided to dispute this, I believe that this violation was issued in error and I kindly request that it be nullified. Please feel free to contact me, using the information provided at the top of this letter, with any questions or concerns regarding this issue. Thank you.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7245085298601124851.post-39935146478152102272010-03-08T11:50:08.606-06:002010-03-08T11:50:08.606-06:00I would really appreciate a clarification:
What d...I would really appreciate a clarification:<br /><br />What does "NOT LIMITED TO" mean in the following:<br /><br />(625 ILCS 5/12‑503) (From Ch. 95 1/2, par. 12‑503) <br /> <br />(Text of Section from P.A. 96‑530)<br /><br />From Paragraph (G-2)...<br /><br />"The owner must obtain a certified statement or letter written by a physician licensed to practice medicine in Illinois that such person owning and operating or being transported in a motor vehicle is afflicted with or suffers from such illness, ailment, or disease, including but NOT LIMITED TO systemic or discoid lupus erythematosus, disseminated superficial actinic porokeratosis, or albinism, and such certification must be carried in the motor vehicle at all times." <br /><br />Patty from IL Sec. St. Office (217) 785-5215 has already denied our plates because our affliction is not listed above... Both my wife and I have a propensity for Melanoma (skin cancer) and have doctors letter on file. <br /><br />She claims the above statement is not current, and the "including but NOT" portion has been omitted last Dec. 2009. All the websites show what is captured above... in 4 months there have been no website updates?<br /><br />If Patty is correct... Why maximize protection for only certain conditions (that can be treated and are survivable) and not maximize protection against deadly skin cancer? What medical reasoning supports this decision? Neither my dermatologist nor my wife’s would have endorsed this decision.<br /><br />I feel discriminated against by this decision and will possibly be placed at further risk. Not to mention the cost to change the current tint on both my vehicles to a less effective UV filter. $200.00 each so I can be legal... once again. We have been abiding by the law and enrolled in this tint program (with doctor’s letter in the car, and on file the Springfield and the new ..WT plates issued) since my first diagnosis in the late 90s. Now we don't qualify?? Absurd!!!<br /><br />Thank you any response.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7245085298601124851.post-15681618251885278792010-03-03T16:40:08.412-06:002010-03-03T16:40:08.412-06:00heres the link to 12-503

The first one you see, allows for no window tint on the windows immediately adjacent to the driver. The second version of 12-503 allows tint with certain percentages. The first one went into effect 01/01/10. The second 10/30/09. These are listed at the bottom of the statutes. It appears the law has reverted back to its original language.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
