I was stationed in Commiefornia back in the mid to late 2000s, they took my drivers license for "exhibition of speed", meaning I didn't actually break any speed limit, I just got to the speed limit to quickly in their opinion.

And I had to file SR22 insurance to get my license back (which is way expensive for a single male that owns sport bikes). No accidents, no injuries, no alcohol or other drugs involved ever, but good ole Commiefornia sure threw a hurting at my wallet. I thought they would have better things to do other than punish a victimless crime too ,,, I was wrong.

for as many tickets I have had for a variety of things including multiple instances of illegally tinted windows we are not yet at the authoritarian point of where the judge is going to search your name up online and read your internet postings and nail you to the wall. they just put there hand out and say pay me! and you are off on your way.
the fine here is about $200 which is about the same amount it would cost to have it removed, get a write off on the ticket and then have the tint re-applied.
**** it, I have had like 3 tickets for window tint in the last 25 years I'll live.

If you ever break a more serious law, say someone runs out in front of you and you mow them over with your car.

Then the ambulance chasing lawyers for the deceased family will have no issues showing your blatant disregard for the law and habitual negligence on your part .

You've heard of character witnesses in court, yeah most civil case lawyers (civil cases, you know where they're just after your money and they don't even fake it that they're after justice) have a network of "experts" they pay to be character witness against the people they're trying to bleed money from.

Five minutes on internet searching and your restitution costs just went up,,, way, way up.

throw the key away and I can work it off at .10 cents an hour, hopefully something terrible like that never happens.
maybe they should have looked first like we get told as children.
even though I have done some stupid shit I do have "some" common sense when operating a motor vehicle otherwise I wouldn't be alive still.
my above stint was in the middle of the night in a 5 lane with no one around except by dumb luck........ a pd

I usually go with 20% but it doesn't look that good if you have a light color interior.
I have a couple that are 5% and if there's no lights around you can't see a thing at night.

Mine was tinted over the stock tint. Couldn't see at night, so I took it off.....peeled off pretty easily. Much better now.

We used 20% ceramic on the front sides, and I believe 80% ceramic on the windshield and sunroof panels. The ceramic is beneficial for uv protection but we didn't want the front tinted for visibility.

My old work truck was 5% all around at 15% on the windshield. It was awesome.. i miss that. Thinking of getting the same treatment for the ppv.

My old ‘07 2500 Silverado had 3% all around.. couldn’t see “in” OR “out” the damn thing lol.. forget driving at night. It was too much. Got stopped by a law man for driving in the grass (i honestly didn’t know it wasn’t allowed) by the boat launch. Truth is, i was actually trying not to stop because it was wet grass and i felt the truck bogging down so i didn’t want to get stuck.. as i pulled out the grass he pulled in front of me head-on with the berries flashing. Gave me a written warning, didn’t even blink twice at the tint so… ?

Whoever had the truck before me tinted all the rears 5%, which I love and just tinted the front doors to match . I want to make the whole windshield 35% next but I'm concerned about night driving. I already can't see if there's anyone in the crosswalk if I'm making a left turn and have to put the window down. I may leave that for when the truck is no longer my daily.

50% full windshield may be an ideal move for you. You could always add a 5% strip along with it to help with the sunlight glare. I have several friends who have had both 35% and 50% windshields and none of them recommend 35%. They say daytime driving is great but nighttime is borderline dangerous, especially in rural areas where there are few lights.
