I only said that to see what answer he would give me, but he told me that they were 50% front and it didn't matter anything behind the fronts. IA law is 70% front and anything goes behind them, Mn law is 50% all windows except the windshield cannot have any (Yes even factory stripe is technically illegal in the state of MN). So got the ticket and he was on his way... no further talk of anything just left me with the 127.50 ticket. I got an IA ticket, though Im a MN with a car registered in MN, for a IA offence. My windows are stock with 60% glass, I drive a mercedes with the tint option.. so not window film (I tryed to tell the officer... but he didnt really care). legal in Mn, not in Ia.

I payed the ticket, Im just 1 of the 85% of ticketed offenders from out of state. So I wont be traveling in IA anytime soon, well ever for that matter too expensive.
Sounds like a bunch of BS to me!
