I have noticed lately that more and more vehicles I see in So.Cal. and registered in CA have very dark to Opera tint on the front side windows I'm not talking one or two a week I'm talking around 10 percent of them.
I know that many local agencies don't enforce a lot of the motor vehicle code, so I looked up the CA code and found that where the Feds require 70 percent of the light pass through the windshield and front side windows, CA requires that 88 percent pass through the windshield and front side windows. The code is in Chapter 12 of the code.
I also learned in reading that chapter that you may have a dashcam mounted basically near your rearview mirror and that if the camera has a stop and save feature or impact feature, that the recording saved is not to be more than 30 seconds before and 30 after the impact feature is activated.
Most dashcams also record sound, therefore, CA requires that any vehicle having one in operation must have a clearly visible sign saying that your voice is being recorded.
The section on dashcams also states that any recording made by a dashcam is the sole property of the owner/operator of the dashcam.
