Let's say that you're driving a vehicle with tinted windows.
The only prohibitions are that the front windshield may not be tinted below the top few inches of the windshield (specifically not below the ASI masking on the windshield), and the left and right driver side windows may not be tinted.
Let's assume that all windows are tinted and the windshield's tint is in accordance with the law.
Now, if you were to be driving around with both your driver and passenger side front windows down and a LEO were to pull you over and ask you to roll your windows up so that he can check them for tint, would this constitute as a search? Would the LEO, since the windows were rolled down in the first place, not have RAS to believe that they were tinted based only on the fact that the other windows were tinted? Would I be able to legally refuse the search/rolling up the windows?
I've been considering taking the tint off my windows during the winter when it's cold out but in the summer the tint is a life saver as it keeps my car from getting so hot. The windows are always down when I'm driving in the summer, hence the question.
