IMO, the majority of tint law are reasonable and allow for a dark enough tint, unless you are afraid of what someone might see inside your car for whatever reason.

Save the dark tints show cars but, keep the tints light enough when on public roads so I can see WTF you are doing in there!

I already said valuables in the car while your parked for one. And honestly, with psychotic episodes of road rage these days, I like just being able to ignore everyone on the road. There have been random freeway shootings on the freeways here in california, and I feel slightly better with darker tint, making a clear shot just a little harder. Also I've heard women feel safer in bad neighborhoods, because random people can't see that there's just one 100 lb girl in the car. Are we good on privacy yet?

I think the real question is... why do you want to see in my car so bad??

I can't begin to tell you how many times I saw a very inattentive driver a on cell phone, putting on make up, eating etc in proximity to my vehicle.
I steer clear or these a-holes.
It's a matter of public record that they are a major cause of accidents.
When someone is on a public road their privacy is limted due to the very nature of it being public.

I guess my point is you should be watching the road, not inside my car...

I guarantee the person paying attention to driving rather than other drivers and trying to classify each one as safe or dangerous is the safer driver.

Quit lying anyway, you know your just mad because the tint on the escalade in front of you on the way home last night was just a little to dark, preventing you from watching finding nemo with their kids on the flip down screen.

I would say to you that a good driver must pay attention to other cars and their drivers That is part of the "road" that you speak of.

You gotta love it when someone cuts through the fog.

When you're in private - you have the right to privacy.
When you're in public you don't.
When you're driving on a public road, yeah you guessed it, you're in public.

The rest of us have a right to see what you're up to at the moment, whether you're paying attention etc and whether or not we have eye contact at a critical moment (THE cardinal rule for motorcyclists btw). It's helps the police too when they can see inside your vehicle at a stop (oh and the driver standing outside the car with his hands on the roof doesn't do shit for the cop, there might be someone else in the car with a gun).

When you're driving on a public road, you're in public so please keep your zipper closed and your finger out of your nose. Keep some napkins in a cubby hole or invest in a little box of kleenex for crying out loud. Oh and paleeze do us all a favor and do the makeup thing before you leave the house. And hang up the freakin phone and drive!!!!!!

Please show me where it says I don't have a right to privacy in public. Can I close the door in a public bathroom?? Can I cover the keypad when I'm entering my pin at the gas station?

None of your arguments make sense either, because I can black out all of my black windows, and you wouldn't be able to see anything going on in the back.

You're pointing out places where the societal norm is to give people a private space in public. But you're forgetting that my safety doesn't depend on my seeing you use the bathroom. I'm probably safer if I don't.

I wouldn't see what your up to very well from behind anyway and eye contact isn't likely.

Sorry but I don't get this. When a police officer pulls a car over he should assume that everyone is obeying the law and gets out of the car because the law says they should? Sounds like a good way to get shot to me!

Both of the examples you stated will not endanger anyone and by law, is considered private.

However driving with a cell phone in one hand and a "big mac" in the other will.

Besides, laws in all states that eveyrthing you do in public is no longer private.
This is why it is legal to put a camera in any public setting, even at an ATM.

Have you ever seen anyone in rush hour traffic reading a NEWSPAPER while driving?? Those people scare the hell out of me!
