Traffic cops have been sent out on special details to stop drivers of cars with tinted windows and ask to see their documentation.
Permits for tinted windows are available for people with serious skin conditions but many people decide to install them to increase comfort levels and reduce temperatures inside their vehicles. Others use tinted windows purely for privacy reasons.
Jalisco traffic law (article 176) states that a tinted window is considered illegal if the interior of the vehicle cannot be seen through it.
Traffic cops are issuing tickets for offenders that carry a fine of between 67.29 and 336.45 pesos (one and five days’ minimum salary). If in the officer’s opinion a vehicle’s tinted windows represent a risk to other motorists, it can be removed from circulation and sent to the pound.
