[s-cars] Pulled over for Tinting!?!?

[Evan Levine]

New Hampshire had the same laws, NO tint on the front windows period. When I
brought my UrS4 home (From CA - how's that for irony) it had very dark tint
on it. I got pulled over within a couple weeks and was told to take it off
or pay a fine. I've since moved to North Carolina, and have considered
re-tinting it but... I dunno.

In your situation, 30% light block tint would be very very light, I doubt
yours will be considered legal.
