Well that's part of their beef - the people using cell phones and cocaine blasters can't be seen when their windows are all limo-black!

Sorry but this idea kinda makes me laugh, but thats the law for ya!
First, the majority of drivers out there are driving alone or with one other person, so the chance of being shot from a back-seat passenger is much smaller than getting shot by the driver or front seat passenger.

Also, it is easier for a cop to see back-seat passengers from in front or diagonally if the front windows and windshield are not tinted heavily.

Park in the sun, spray with ammonia based window cleaner, like Windex, don't score the film, put black plastic trash bag on the film, the bag will cling to the wet window. Let it set ( I waited 15 minutes) and peel from the edge. Mine came off in one piece. Then all you need is to clean off the adhesive.

I found a good way to remove the adhesive today. I just saturated the area with invisible glass. They used about a 4" wide scrapper blade to remove the stuff. Wasn't too bad.
