You find me the actual % I will agree with you. I went to school for this, I know the HTA, and I've also been let of with a window tint ticket because the officer didn't read up on his shit. The actual charge is colour coating obstructing the interior and we are one of the few places that doesn't give an actual percentage. The police have been fighting for it as it's a very easy ticket to get off of. In many parts of the US they have things that are able to read your tint percentage as they have laws in %. I would agree that 28% is probably safe, but there's no actual legal limit. If they really wanted, they could charge you for any type of aftermarket tint.
