oops, sorry if I touched your wound. but only if you chose one thats too dark, no?
"it is the requirement of the transport dept that the car need to get the dept's approval before any tint can be applied"
So dark or not dark, comply to or not comply to the 70%/44%, actually won't make a difference, when the man/madam say go have your car checked, you still have to go, and you still have to peel all of them tints off...

*hahum* let me clarify on that one... I have asked a shop that specializes on tinting the car windows... the official answer to that is:
"it is the requirement of the transport dept that the car need to get the dept's approval before any tint can be applied"

but yea, most of us don't care too much about this. that's why I didn't try to complain to police when I got caught of speeding or so, will be in big trouble if they "play thing" and tow my car for check.

interestingly, when I throw my car at bends:
my mother in law tried to put on a brave face
my wife complains but not scared
kids absolutely love it
mates will try to put their right foot on the invisible brake pedal in front of the passenger seat

I spoke to a ex school mate who is in the police force. basically, the law is there but rarely enforced and there is some leeway if you can prove that the change from the original spec is for safety purposes, e.g, changes to wider tyres. but like you said, if you are unfortunate enough to meet a cop in bad mood, he can make your life quite miserable. just have bro killbillhk's # on your phone, I am sure he can help to straight things out.
