I just roll down my front windows when I see cops. My z is tinted even darker (20% all the way around) and I've never gotten a ticket. I live in CA where they are strict as hell.
Can't cite you for tinted windows if they can't see your windows!

Go fight the ticket. I heard in some places cops get a commission on the amount of successful tickets they right. I know here they have quota's they have to reach but can't you go to the station and show your insurance slip and they throw out the ticket?

More like November of last year for the state of Illinois. This is when the bill was signed. A lot of Illinois cops were really pissed! But if you live in Chicago, the tint is still illegal due to local ordinance.
Next bill for review is elimination of front plate.
