I went to the eye doctor last week. Asked him abut the tint prescription and he said, 'no problem I would be happy to write you one, how dark do you want it for? I I had the slightest inkling it would be that easy, I would have done it in the first place. I declined the prescription and he said if you change your mind just give me a call and I will wrte you one and you can pick it up or i will fax it to you. This guy is my eye doctor for life.

I think he is a top notch doctor and have been a patient for a number of years. I think what it shows is how dumb the law is. The only people that really suffer from it are the folks doing the tinting. The law has had a significant negative impact on the auto tinting business in Minnesota.
You may want to rethink how good a doctor this guy is. He’s probably ignorant of the law, assuming it's similar to California's, and how it could jeopardize his medical license, and how you could be pulled over at night in spite of a note. You used good judgment in declining the prescription. Also, in a desire to please a customer, his level of professionalism, such as it is, may not be in your best interest. Your eyes deserve better.

Well then, I guess we’re back to the old argument. The law assumes that tinted windows beyond what is allowed compromises night visibility. It’s there to promote road safety, something for which your state legislators are responsible. You may disagree with that premise, but it certainly is not dumb.

i don't think the reason the law was enacted is dumb, the dumbness comes in to play with how the law was written to allow basically anyone to get around it.

You make a good point. To the degree that drivers can get around it, we all suffer a bit. Based on the inevitable accident every now and then, insurance rates go up, health care costs rise, and people lose a bit more respect for our laws, making matters even worse. Laws that are not enforced are worthless. I wish I had a solution.
