Laminated glass is made up of 3 layers, 2 outer layers of glass separated by a PVB layer sandwiched between them. The end result is one bonded material which will not separate from one another, under any reasonable circumstance. Whereas tinting a window is simply applying a layer of tape to the outside of a pane of glass.
Further to that, the PVB layer in laminated glass is on average .4mm thick. By comparison a layer of tint is only 1 thou thick (.0254mm).
The end result is that laminated glass and tinted glass are similar much like how Kevlar is similar to hemp.

So what you're trying to say is that due to the tint's weakness, it shouldn't interfere with the way the glass shatters?
Once shattered, laminated glass will often bend and warp around whatever caused it to shatter in the first place. Since the individual fragments of glass are held in place by that PVB interlayer, they still pose a significant laceration hazard to any body parts that come in contact with it.
So again remind me why laminated glass is permitted for front-side windows and tint isn't?

Nice try with the straw man argument, but I'm not biting.
I'm going to cut my losses here and end with saying:
Tinting any one of your 3 front windows is illegal, take this as formal notice. Tinting your windows does NOT create a safe in vehicle environment. Using that excuse in court will likely end up with you looking like a complete dunce.

If that is your best argument for why window tint should be legal you are not going to get much traction.
Your better off with the "it's a pointless law argument". | Quote:

Laminated glass has the film sheet (polyvinyl butyral... basically a bonding resin) sandwiched between the layers of glass. When an impact hits the glass, that inner film helps to hold all the shards in one place.
Tint is stuck on the outside of the glass. When an impact hits, the potential for the tint peeling off is relatively high. This causes shards to still fall everywhere.
Yes, both methods have the possibility of allowing glass shards to fall onto someone inside a vehicle, but the latter method will allow it to happen far more often.
There's a reason why the laminated process is used for creating bullet resistant glass instead of using external layers of film.

At first he was trying to say that having tinted windows is safer then not having tinted windows, this is where he compared tinted windows to the process of laminating windows.
Then when I proved him wrong by explaining to him that the to processes are not even remotely similar his argument changed to the fact that adding tint does not make the glass any more dangerous then not having it.
Classic straw man argument.

Samething, had a very very light tint as well and it's been on my car since 2003 when I brought my car from out of province, I had the mandatory vehicle inspection and everything. Officer said they should have caught it and that I should go back to the inspection garage and get them to pay the fine.. honestly how does one prove that?

I have encountered numerous Vehicle Inspectors who regularly approved cars with illegally tinted windows...and dealerships who sold the cars that way. Some of the same inspectors worked for the dealerships...some didn't. The inspection was defective...however you must have known it was illegal some time in the last 11 years. Why did you not go back to the inspection centre and ask them that question? I can name 5 dealerships I reported for selling illegally tinted cars and at least double that number of inspectors willing to ignore the regulations and pass defective vehicles. Due to the fact that I no longer have the proof, I won't.

Mighty Car Mods has a good video on removing film, but basically; heat it up with a heat gun, lift a corner and pull it off, then remove the adhesive with a razor blade, and clean up what remains with a rag and goo gone.
