Re: Window tint loophole?

So, naturally I have been looking for a loophole to achieve this. Until now my best idea was to ask my eye doctor to write me an exemption, in that instance I actually do have mild cataracts that would make it a little more ethical...maybe... Either way I didn't feel comfortable putting my eye doctor in that position so I kept on. I found that one of the exemptions states: "Vehicles used to transport passengers on a regular basis for a fee, (i.e., taxi, limousine, and buses)." My question is, if I sign up as an uber driver and maybe give a ride every now and then to keep up my "regular basis" quota would I be justified? I know more than likely I will get pulled over at some point for it, but since it is technically a vehicle for hire on a regular basis wouldn't uber suffice as a defense?
Edit** I do not intend on making it dark enough to be a safety hazzard at all.
Sounds like if that's in the Admin Code, it's your call. Just be prepared to fight the inevitable tickets.

The only think I would be worried about is the "regular basis" requirement. If it's not explicitly defined, it's up for interpretation what "regular basis" actually is. I doubt 1 or 2 Uber rides per week would be considered "regular basis" under the intent of the law.
