I for one am glad they are enforcing the law. Highly tinted windows obstruct the important communication of being able to make eye contact with the driver. It’s important for other drivers, cyclists and pedestrians. I’m not sure why your home states laws matter when you were driving in NY?

I found this about US car window tinting rules: https://windowtintlaws.us/crossing-state-lines-with-tinted-windows/ https://windowtintlaws.us/crossing-state-lines-with-tinted-w... CAN YOU GET PULLED OVER FOR WINDOW TINT IN ANOTHER STATE? The short answer is yes, you can be pulled over by state vehicles or law enforcement for window tint violations that go against state tint laws.

Uh... ? "I demonstrated to the officer that Range Rover made them that way from the factory" Am I supposed to break the windows out before going to NYC?

  Range Rover front windows are not tinted from the factory. If your range has tinted front windows, its aftermarket and its a film, not part of the glass. There's so much to the story that OP left out (was the cop eyeballing or did they use the actual tint level detector, why did the cop threaten to take his entire family to the precinct). Its not worth your time to speculate. Don't drive your car with aftermarket tint into NYC, very simple.

  Can you demonstrate that to us here? I'm not familiar with cars in the US coming from the factory with window tint. Most of the time front window tint is something dealers might add, but that's not "from the factory". And no, you don't need to break the windows out. You could also just not drive your car that doesn't comply with the laws into that area. Much like how I wouldn't be walking around NYC with an AR-15 strapped to my back even though that's technically legal where I'm from.
