If your tint is legal in your state, does that protect you while driving through another? (where it would be illegal?)

If the tint is illegal in the state you're driving through, and even if you may get the ticket dismissed in traffic court, you still would have to go through the effort of pleading not guilty, and appearing at court.

The legal tint limit in the state of IA is 70% (35% with a doctor's excuse). So if someone from MO, where the legal limit is 35% drives into my state, it is still illegal here even though it is legal in MO. I do not usually cite if it is legal in the person's home state. However it does make great PC for legal interdictions!:D
Excuse me Officer, I have a stupid Question. "No problem, I've got a stupid answer for you!"
