Yup, illegal in Cali to have tint in the front, but many ppl get away with it, even me. However, if you get stopped and they are having a bad day or you have done something wrong, or give them s--t, then beware. Also, a traffic cop is more likely to give you sh-- than a regular patrol crusier. It could also give an officer probable cause to start looking around for other things....I've had some good experiences, and some skank nasty ones too.
