" You are quite confused on the law in Kentucky. The rear of MPV's can use tint as dark as 8%. The rear of cars can use tint as dark as 18%. The driver and passenger window's tint can be no darker than 35%. Nothing is allowed lower than the AS/1 line on the windshield. Now, here is where the problem comes in... Kentucky's law is very poorly written. It reads (the film) must be at least the designated amount of VLT, NOT the total read by the meter in conjunction with the glass on the vehicle. The film has to be removed in order to truely regulate this law. That seems an unlikely event to take place. Attempts to get the law written correctly whereas it could be properly enforced have been unsuccessful. Good luck to all in Maysville Kentucky, your headaches are about to begin. Owensboro had the same problem with it's enforcement of the law. "

" This article is erroneous in many ways and it is obvious the officers do not understand the Kentucky statute that governs window tinting. Kentucky law does not take into account the factory tinting on a vehicle as it deals strictly with window film VLT as measured when applied to clear 1/8" glass, therefore the tint meters will always be inaccurate and will not hold up in court. Furthermore, NO tinting is allowed on a windshield below the AS1 line. "
