Yeah. There's no reason the legal tint level should be different on an SUV vs car.

That's not for you to decide, though. If you don't like a law, work to get it changed, don't visit the place that has that law, or stop doing what is breaking that law. Those are your options.

Yeah, this is starting to feel like it's creeping into "sovereign citizen" territory, like opting out of laws that you don't agree with is somehow a valid legal argument

There is no logic to their tint law. I live in a community that exists in 2 states. And civil disobedience is morally ok. Anyway, nobody is going to pull me over for my tint and if they do, that's fine, I know I'm risking a ticket. It's not that serious.

> There is no logic to their tint law.

Again, that's just a personal opinion. I could have that opinion about any number of laws and choose to disobey them because of that.

You're certainly entitled to the opinion that the law is indefensible and should never be followed. It's just weird to me for you to treat this like some sort of obvious objective view with no reasonable grounds for disagreement.
