Someplace to check window tint

I'm looking for a place to check out the % of tint on my car's windows. I was pulled over today and the cop said he was pretty sure my windows where too dark, but didn't have a way to check them in his cruiser and suggested I have it checked or removed. I got the car with the windows already tinted, it doesn't look that dark to me, but i'd like to have it checked.

ask another cop most of them have a little tint-o-meter that measures the amount of light transmission a safe bet is if they can't see you through the window its too dark

 

 

50% on driverside and passenger side, whatever you want on the rest. Have it measured within that perimeter.

There is also a section in the Ohio code that prohibits the sale of a vehicle with illegal tint by a dealer. I don't know if you can prove it was on there when you got it but it may help if you ever get a ticket.
