I'm actually fine with this. Tinted windows in police cars help to protect the identity of a person (while in transit, at least) who has not yet been tried and found guilty of anything.

  I don't think the model 3 is used for prisoner transportation

  These are personal vehicles.

  The videos appear to be those of cops pulling out of a parking lot with their personal vehicles after their shifts are over. They're just a few of a much larger set of examples of those in US police departments showing little regard for the very laws they are supposed to enforce, though I admit window tints and front license plates seem rather tame to me. However, it would be of no surprise to me should someone who themselves received an expensive ticket or tickets for it made it their mission in life to document off-duty cops' violations of the same.

    My bad, I'd only briefly looked and assumed they were unmarked cars for on duty cops.

    Are you sure it is not an undercover car? Tinted windows are allowed for them. https://www.windowfilmmag.com/2012/08/california-assembly-passes-new-tinting-regulation/ https://www.windowfilmmag.com/2012/08/california-assembly-pa...

      Unmarked police cars are still otherwise pretty standard police cars, based on a handful of models. These are very clearly a full range of normal consumer cars. Undercover cars are a completely different thing and would be nowhere near a police station in the first place.

  That's why arrest records are kept secret and not posted on the internet along with mug shots. /s (Not to imply that I'm a fan of either.)

It obfuscates the identity of the officers against harassment and retribution for on-duty activity. Same reason narcos wear ski masks.

  Also fascists, terrorists, executioners, etc....
