The different levels of window tint are displayed inside M&M Window Tinting on Tuesday, July 29, 2025.

The darker car windows law went into effect Aug. 1. This new law was allegedly inspired by a legislator whose daughter’s medication increased her eye sensitivity to light.

It would have been much safer for everyone, particularly all law enforcement officers, if she would wear sunglasses. Allowing darker-tinted front windows is not the answer.

I am amazed that this legislation was overwhelmingly approved, and the Louisiana Sheriff’s Association took no position on the bill.
