I remember a case of a guy whose car number plate had been cloned and used on another car for a crime, then cops spotted his car and started following him and its the fact that they saw he was alone in the car and was not behaving erratically that they managed to stop him and ask some questions, with these tints bullets might have been fired and questions asked latter. It's double edged. Could help to confuse the adversary on number of occupants plus if armed, you have time to aim and shoot!

Could help to confuse the adversary on number of occupants plus if armed, you have time to aim and shoot! sure, of course it works both ways, the opportunistic thug will be put off, but security issues are the exception rather than the norm and i think the privacy part is the bigger advantage as compared to a car without. Reminds me of the lady who was shot and killed hapo city park, when she was with the relative, the car had tinted windows and the cops just shot at it, I imagine a scenario where one has their kid in the car and cops just shoot, at least wakiona mtoto they might be more considerate.

Someone was joking about how Kenyans buy very expensive cars then hide in them through tinting, saying if they bought one they would get the clear glass with nothing even the factory light tint for everyone to see.

With tints i wont have been naswad I think I am beginning to get convinced that tinting has more pros than cons compared to clear windows. Of late I have been observing the behavior of Karaos on the road and have found that unless it is a probox or a battered old car, they rarely stop tinted cars, especially those with front tint! Tinted machines just pass through checkpoints nyweeee. Perhaps the cops fear some VIP might be in there. When the cops are highway criminals themselves (bribe seekers..which they almost all are) perhaps that small tint investment is worth it!
