Florida Window Tint Law
Just passing this on to anyone that may not know this..
A friend was stopped by MBPD and the officer stated there was NO LAW allowing Private Investigators to have Black Tinted Windows darker than the legal %. Here is the FL Statute stating who is EXEMPT from having Blacked out Tinted windows.. (Even the front windshield can be tinted and blacked out and still be legal for the below listed exemptions)
NEW Legal updates on Window Tint
FS: 316.29545; Window Sun screening EXCLUSIONS; Medical Exemption; certain law enforcement vehicles and PRIVATE INVESTIGATORS vehicles are exempt:
(1) The department shall issue medical exemption certificates to persons who are afflicted with Lupus, any autoimmune disease or other medical conditions which require a limited exposure to light, which certificates shall entitle the person to whom the certificate is issued to have sun screening material on the windshield, side windows and windows behind the driver which is in violation of the requirements of ss 316.2951, 316.2957. The department shall consult with the Medical Advisory Board established in 322.125 for guidance with respect to the autoimmune diseases and other medical conditions which shall be included on the form of the medical certificate authorized by this section.

Just to clarify...

Re: Florida Window Tint Law
Thank You for explaining the details of the incident. As we all know there are always two sides to the story.. I didn't mean it to seem in my initial post that I wanted to blast the officer that wrote / stopped her. Nothing was mentioned about Tailgating and Speeding and I didn't know that the vehicle was not registered to her husband, since I have always seen him driving this vehicle and not her. The incident was told to me with parts missing (obviously) so please accept my apology .. with that being said and now that the details have been brought to the light, I agree with what was done at the stop by the officer, cause obviously there could have been more yellow paper issued to the driver than there was.
Thank you again for clarifying the details for me.

On the window tint issue. In Tampa Florida, is window tint a secondary stop offence?

Even though this is an old post the info is incorrect. PI's are not exempt from the windshield tint restrictions, only side windows. Windshields are regulated by 316.2952 which is NOT listed as an exempted statute.

You will lose in court, I did .. I wrote a PI for front window tint and Judge Capote dismissed the citation 3 months ago stating any and all windows pertaining to "Sunscreening" "even the front windshield" on his vehicle were allowed to be tinted and are all exempt.
