Answer 1

Window tints apply to the front and side windows. If a cop walks up to your car, they want to be able to see in your driver & passenger windows as well as the front. I guess they don't care about the back

Answer 2

Have it done by a well known shop and tell them you want it as dark as you can  legally get away with.

Answer 3

most shops that give out inspection stickers have a device that slips over the side windows to check if its to dark or not, to dark and i will not pass inspection.

Answer 4

I think it all comes down to a police officers judgement of "visibility".  If an approaching officer can't see what you're doing inside your car or truck, the tint is too dark.  It's for their own safety.
