Check out this link for the below quote from a IL State Police Sgt.

"You'd be surprised how many people are wanted, how many are murderers, who have tinted windows or no safety belt" said Sgt. Bill Emery, IL State Police.

WOW, guess I should remove my tint or the guy next door might think I'm a killer. NBA, NFL, NHL and MLB players be warned.

 

Duh! I thought EVERYONE knew this. That is why I have no tint.

 

Here is one link to a forum that explains why

An out of state news article explaining it

One explination of why it is a concern in Law Enforcement Practice

Officer Safety, safety of those around you (how many complain about it being impossible to see backing up at night) and your own safety. Not that hard a law to follow either I'll have to find the numbers of wanted people brought in on tint and or seatbelt violations for you I'm sure there's at least one large agnecy that tracks the statistic.

 

I think he means, you'd be suprised how many times he stops someone for a small infraction (tint, seat belt, license plate, etc...) and that person is wanted. That is why I keep my car squeeky clean, no reason to pull me over if they don't like the way I look.
