They'll probably cut you a ticket and tell you to take it up with the judge. Also in some states cops carry a light meter that measures the transmittance on the spot.

You're probably right but there is no way I was going to tint the car only 70% which looks just a tad darker than no tint at all. Most people are doing 35% on the front side. I figured I'd go with the 50% which is a little lighter and along with the contrast on the 22% rear there is enough difference to make it look not too dark. If they pull out the light meter, nothing I can do but I think having them write 70% on the receipt instead of 50% was still the best option and has some chance of working.
