Well a few thousand dollars and a court verdict and we have WON!!!!!!! Inspection Bulletin #328 From Captain Ronald Saunders To all inspection stations Subject Windshield Shadebands and Tinting Films Currently,inspection regulations do not permit film or darkening material to be applied on the windshield except to replace the sunshade in the upper most area as installed by the manufacture of the vehicle. However ,at the Federal level,it has been discovered this is only a concern when tint is applied beyond the AS-1 line. In order to be consistant with Federal guidelines ,19VAC30-70-210,paragraph 11,Glass and Glazing of the official State Police Manual will be revised to reflect this change. Effective immediately, Sun shading material on the windshield displaying words lettering,numbers or pictures that do not extend below the AS-1 line are not considered items for inspection. WOOOOOOO HOOOOO!!!!!!! Mark @performance autosport

Good job, Mark, even if it doesn't affect anyone outside of VA. And some people believe California has a monopoly on mindless & intrusive laws...
Again, Nice job Mark. We know you have been fighting this for a while. Good for you. Truth, justice and the American way. Nice to see the court system work every once and a while.
It seems like several months after this, not all inspection stations have been given this information... Could you give me a little more information about this? Thank you very much for your help!
