All the units? Just the K-9 units? Only marked units we have that have tinted windows is the K-9 units. the tinted windows help keep the dogs cool in those kennels. Only other vehicles with tinted windows are our narcotic agents and investigators.
It's hard to kiss the lips at night that chews your a$$ all day long.

The window tinting law is bull doodoo. Saw a trooper near union town that had his windows damn near blacked out. I've got mine tinted and it helps keep that nasty sun out. I dont even wear sun glasses anymore.
But why can they have the dark tint and no one else can
Not a leo but my speculation is that it is safer for the cops to approach with a vehicle with tint they can see in. You don't want to be standing there waiting for someone to roll their window down only to see a gun barrel pointed at you. Lighter tint you can see what's going on in the car.
Only accurate rifles are interesting.

This is the reason the law was passed. When it was proposed there were no exceptions for LE vehicles but that was Amended I believe for Narcotic officers. They have probably included K-9s also. When I retired there were no exceptions for other LE vehicles. I will say this however, it is very hard, impossible really, with the naked eye to distinguish between illegal and barely legal. Barely legal looks pretty dark to the naked eye and this is how a lot of the police package vehicles come. When I got a new Tahoe as the night shift Commander it came that way and I made them take it off, although it was legal, it made it harder for me to see things at night when I was working. You are right in questioning this Mr. Slayer. It is something that has been so ignored by agencies that many officers actually believe that there is an exception for them in the law, but like I said there is not, at least not when I retired.
Lord, please help us get our nation straightened out.

I hate the guy lost his life. But he should not of even pulled him for dark tint just so he could fish for something else. Its ridiculous....
This is the most asinine statement I've ever read on this site, and that's a real feat.
Read up on how serial killer Ted Bundy was caught.
I know how ted Bundy was caught. Ive also seen the houses around fsu where he killed the girls. Window tint and air freshener hanging from a rear view mirror is a bs stop. That my opinion, if you do not like it dont read my posts.
I bet you're real fun at parties.
Calm down snowflake.
