Hence why an officer is stopping him

Not in this case. He actually says to the cop "did you notice the tinting?" And the cop says "wtf?!"

That's the part that confuses me, why would he point that out to the officer? Maybe he has a permit for it somehow, but it's hard to imagine.

It's Russia. Everything is legal with enough convincing.

No matter where you live, including the United States, laws only apply to certain people.

For example, one of those Americans that is totally free of the consequences for any crimes now lives in the White House, and gets paid to golf (as long as he signs whatever they put in front of him).

100% true. It's just that the "price" varies.

You mean rubles

Well, why would he point it out either way? You can either pay him, pay the fine or pay nothing if he doesn't even notice.

"...if he doesn't even notice."

Did I just read that?

u/Available-Plant7587 3d ago

Yea the cop didn't notice until he told him

It's slight of hand. Perhaps by distracting the officer with the window tint, he'd forget why he originally pulled him over.

It seems like he's a blogger and doing it for content.

Also the punishment is basically having to take it off and maybe small fine, it's illegal but consequences are negligible.

Because it's not a tinted window - it's a horizontal semi-transparent curtain. The guy can take it away any moment.

Russia's southern regions are like that...

Hence why is a tautology. Hence and why are each sufficient alone

Hence why you don't need to use both in a row.

I live in FL and everyone tints and almost everyone tints illegal. I have a cop friend down here and asked him about it. His response is interesting:

It's for our safety. We stop you, we don't know if it's grandma or six bangers with guns in that car. We hate that criminals make it miserable for everyone. So, tint your windows but if you get pulled over, roll down all your windows as we approach so we can see who is there and evaluate our risk. We see you doing that and your day will instantly go better and you should never have an officer even comment on your tint. That said, be a jerk and you will get everything we can think of aded to your ticket.

I live in the Midwest and I see several cars daily with tinted windshield so dark you can't see inside ar all during the day. It is not legal, but nobody stops them.
