You can tint any window legally except the windshield and the two front passenger windows. In this State the cops walk up to you while you remain seated. They want to see you as they approach. Most everyone in the desert areas tint all windows including most police cars. The smart people roll their front windows down immediately if they are stopped.
I will try the black tape route. Someone also said there was a connector that can be pulled.
