So when someone is ATGATT, the cops have a harder time telling age - but the point is, they shouldn't need to know that in the first place.
Tint is more for the protection of officers during a traffic stop, not exactly for proper identification. But then one could argue why pull over a tinted vehicle for the purpose of giving them a ticket for tint and risk officer safety?


As for the FL law, it seems like another way for the state to make revenue. Does Florida require a helmet for riders with less than a year of having their motorcycle endorsement no matter what age?
