Living in GA. I have yet to have a problem. Lugnut you really can't notice the difference that much. As for the tint...it's one piece and works great.

Cops use a light meter to check if the tint is legal.

I don't know how accurate the info on this site is. According to the GA "tint law" link, any tint on the windshield and 20% tint on any other window is illegal.
Look at the penalty. You can be fined up to $1,000 and jailed for up to 12 months for violating the tint law! That's ludicrous.
Beware - An owner of an out-of-state car caught in GA with illegal window tint is subject to the same penalties under this law.

All you need is a letter from, your optometrist saying your light sensative. The cops can write all the tickets they want. The light meter cops carry can only be used for the side window. They cannot do back or front windows. To be honest Lugnut, you can't even notice the tint on the front. 20% is very light.

Actually, you would need a letter from an opthamologist or other MD attesting to your medical condition that prevents you from being unshielded from the sun. An optometrist isn't licensed to practice medicine and isn't qualified to write the letter. Also, it wouldn't be as easy to get as you make it sound. Not impossible, but not easy because most doctors wouldn't lie in writing. It would be like asking a doctor to give you a letter so you could get a handicapped parking permit.
Still, an exemption isn't guaranteed.
quote:
The Department of Public Safety may, upon application from a person required for medical reasons to be shielded from the direct rays of the sun and only if such application is supported by written attestation of such fact from a person licensed to practice medicine under Chapter 34 of Title 43, issue an exemption from the provisions of this Code section for any motor vehicle owned by such person or in which such person is a habitual passenger. The exemption shall be issued with such conditions and limitations as may be prescribed by the Department of Public Safety.
If a cop wanted to give you a hard time, they could tell if you have tint on the windshield. Anybody can tell by a close examination.
