new window tint law in Ohio
I've seen many posts on here about tinted windows and there is always someone who asks, "Why is it legal for police vehicles?"
While this was a good question as of 3/22/13, the law in Ohio will change. The last section of the new law is also very interesting.
4513.241 Using tinted glass and other vision obscuring materials. [Effective 3/22/2013]
· Previously, manufacturer applied tint was an exception to the window tint laws. Now, the manufacturer cannot provide to a motor vehicle dealer or to any other person a motor vehicle that violates the window tint requirements of this section.
· This section no longer applies to law enforcement vehicles.
· The person who installs illegal window tint is now civilly liable to the owner for any damages incurred as a result of the installation and costs of maintaining the civil action, and attorney fees.
