Make window tint legal in New York State.

The Issue

Dear Sir or Ma'am

As a former United States Army Military Policeman I understand the reasoning for the new law being implemented. It makes traffic stops a little less stressful for the investigating officer. The windows on my car are fairly dark and when being pulled over (when it occurs) I do everything asked of me by that officer. Half the time they don't even bother me about my tint. Not everyone with tinted windows are doing harm many are just everyday citizens. What the state doesn't realize is that companies live off tinting cars and I do know several business in the area who tint cars and that is their main source of income. People's cars are an extension of their homes. Family's tint their cars to help keep the sun out of the eyes of their children. Many tint their cars to help stay cool in the hot summer months. This law is not to police up the bad people in this state but affects the good citizens who call New York State home. What I don't understand is you make a law then you have to enforce it every direction. If I can't tint my windows, then why can our state governor drive around in a car with tint so dark you can't see into the window at all.
