No More Window Tinting In Georgia

Something else for libertarians to bitch about:

MACON, GA -- The state window tinting law changed last month. Right now if your windows are too dark you can be pulled over.

All cars, even people passing through on vacation, can be ticketed for dark tinting this summer.

Centerville Police Sergeant Michael Mullins says dark windows are dangerous for officers making traffic stops.

I like this law, as I see no reason for tinted windows in the first place. If you want to keep to yourself, then stay at home.

And what about people that travel in limousines? Well, little will change for them:

Law enforcement is only concerned about your front windshield and windows.

The rear windows can be as dark as you like because many cars from the dealer come tinted.

  • I don't think the full faith and credit clause would apply here. From my understanding, it applies primarily to legal contracts, court rulings, and civil issues. I mean, just because a California resident is able to possess medical marijuana with a proscription in California doesn't mean he or she is able to do so in Idaho.

    In regards to the safety of police officers, in the short-term, I think it may be more dangerous, but in the long-term, as more and more people get the point that they are no longer allowed have their windows tinted at certain levels, then the need for aggressive enforcement would be lessened.
