YV-TECH LAW ENFORCEMENT CLASS VISIT
It was great having the next generation of law enforcement leaders stop by! We recently welcomed former YPD Officer Eric Pierceโs YV-Tech LE classes for a department tour, where students received insight into policing and had the opportunity to ask great questions. We appreciate their interest in public service. ๐ฎ๐ปโโ๏ธ๐

Then take your tint off too. ๐
Same as they can be on their electronics, we can't.
That RCW applies to “film sunscreening”, not tinting.
I drive an x police vehicle and my windows came pretty dark. I don't know the percentage. Is this an exception to the rule? Beings it's a code, not a law.
I think you can also get a prescription for a darker tinting if you have photosensitivity from Lupus and such
Codes are not laws.
But you guys can have your windows pitch black ๐คญ
that applies to FRONT side windows. rear side windows can be as dark as you like. same with teh rear window. provided you have two exterior side mirrors. try not to be deceitful.
I think I need exemptions for “Privacy and Security” reasons.
It’s called privacy tint for a reason
This where my tax dollars are going to so you guys can enforce tint Fk out of here
Just got mine done at 20%
What about the rear window
Thank you, weird coincidence that this was posted recently. I just drove past business a few days ago that advertised window tinting, and I thought to myself didn't they make that illegal to do except for t the dealerships....
Rules for thee but not for me ๐คฃ๐๐ฝ
You cannot assume what my tint identifies as!
A little vague there, Rear side windows and back glass can be all the way blacked out on a pickup.
They only make 20% or 30% there’s no 24% ๐๐ did the law maker even try to get with the manufacturers to get the law close to what the tint makers make.
I see cars driving where you can't see the person driving. It's not being enforced enough. I also see people driving cars that have no license plates.
5% all around with 15% windshield๐คท๐ผโ๏ธ๐๐๐ป
Then do something about it!
Especially these days.
AS1 line is?

#thankyou

We are so GRATEFUL for our officers at YPD because we know you are FACING a whole new brood of criminals that care NOTHING about human life ESPECIALLY YOURS OR OTHER INNOCENTS. Now they are children with the mentality of wicked evil behavior and thoughts. I pray for your safety and what you are faced with on a DAILY basis now!! I know what FERGUSON has said but I do hope when ICE comes back through YOU WILL HAVE THEIR BACKS!!!

My daughter went to YV Tech law-enforcement classes. She did five years of explorers as well and it’s a good program and I’m proud of anyone who accomplishes it. ๐๐๏ฟผ
Way to show up in the city! So proud of all you do. ๐๐๐
“I feared for my life.” Repeat after me, now. “I thought they had a gun.” You can do it! “He fit the description.” C’mon! “If he’d only have complied, I was ever so afraid.”
