Why having your car windows tinted too dark is illegal

While tinted windows might look cool, it's important to know Wisconsin state law. If you're not careful, you could get a ticket.
"In Wisconsin, we can tint however the customer wants," said Joe Paulson, the owner at Expert Electronics - a Milwaukee auto shop where window tinting is a popular service. "What's kind of weird about Milwaukee is that a lot of people want the whole windshield tinted, which is very surprising because it's very hard to see where you're going when the whole windshield's tinted."
Paulson said he makes customers who want to tint their windows darker than what is legally allowed to sign a waiver, releasing his business from liability.
"We say 'hey, this is a really bad idea, this is stupid, it's way too dark but if you want to do it anyway we'll do it," said Paulson.
Window tinting is measured by the Visible Light Transmission (VLT), or how much light can get through the tinted film that is covering the window.
