Illegal window tints prompt police warning

Big Island police are advising motorists that it is illegal for the front windshields of motor vehicles to allow less than 35 percent of light to pass through.

Police issued the warning after receiving complaints that some Big Island tint shops are tinting vehicle windows darker than the law allows.

According to Chapter 251-21.5 of the Hawaii Revised Statutes, all windows on automobiles must meet Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards 205.

The regulation states that the windows must allow at least 35 percent of light to pass through.

Motorists or tint shops found to have installed illegal tints on vehicle windows face a fine of $50 to $250 for each separate offense.
