The Officer had a device that measured VLT and after the presentation we went to the parking lot and measured the VLT on a few vehicles with no tint. My car (96 Corvette with no tint) measured a 72% VLT with stock glass, the stock glass had a very light blue color to it. I researched CVC 26708 and found the following: The tinting material itself must have a VLT of at least 88% and when combined with the factory glazing, the VLT must not be less than 70%.

Most people that tint their windshield go for around 70% which to the naked eye is hard to tell due to sun's glare and I doubt a cop pulling someone over would have that machine.
