Car Window Tinting in Baton Rouge

[JBP55]

Good question I was going to ask but didn't want to get personal. I've heard alot of people saying they had a exemption but this was the first one I've seen.

They are not required to have an Inspection Sticker either.

My sister had the exemption for tint, and it wasn't as easy as some people saying about having a note from the eye dr. She had to get some forms filled out by her physician, and they only accept a handful of conditions. Then afterwards it had to be notarized and sent to LSP for approval, then LSP gave her a form to keep in her car. She had her whole car tinted including the windshield.

You are a Pharmacist and you think sending forms to the LSP after being filled out by your Doctor and being Notarized is a difficult task?

Not that it's difficult, but harder than what most people think. A bunch of my friends have "notes" they keep in their glove compartment from an optometrist that says they are sensitive to sun light, hence the need for tint. From my understanding, that's not legal. There's only a few conditions that LA will accept. One of which is Lupus.

How did you acquire this?

I have a medical condition where I will break out in hives when exposed to the sun for too long. It required my doctor filling out a form that I had notarized, a set of prints, and a money order for the background check.

This is the first exemption I have since the latest change in the law. Someone from DPS came to me and placed that sticker on my car! Prior to that, the exemptions were way easier to get.

If you want the highest heat rejection, without going dark. Look at Wincos. I have it on my escalade, and it's better than the lumnar ceramic I had on a previous car. Not only does it reject heat, you can get the light 40-50% version and it'll still out perform other tint. People with normal tint (non-mettalic or ceramic) don't realize the cheaper tint actually attracts heat. It's like wearing a black t-shirt in the summer.

Does it look blue from the inside? I was going to get my front windshield done with Winco 70%

Thanks for the reply. I've heard people for years talk about their letter they carry. I guess back in the day when your mama's friend the nurse would write you something up. and you thought you were legal. Your's is the first I've seen. Not so easy to get it the legal way.

So yours is illegal? Nice Blue Line sticker

Even with either exemption, Security or Medical, it is still illegal to have windshield tinted at all with the exception of the top 6 inches.

You already know the answer to that question. Also I am fully comfortable with any issues they has happened or will happen due to the modifications of my car.

I feel as if you are not willing to pay the fine associated with the modification, than you shouldnt do it.

From my understanding that's not true, my sisters medical conditions allowed her to negate the tint laws. Regardless of the Windshield or not. Unless you want her to brake out in a butterfly rash, and cause her to have internal inflammation when exposed to the sun while taking meds which causes even higher sensitivity to the sun. She has to wear a wet suit when she takes her kids swimming in the pool.

This is what you're talking about right? D. Any exemption granted pursuant to this Section shall not apply to the area below the top six inches of a motor vehicle windshield.

There's a Firefighter truck I see that is so blacked out I don't know her he drives it. You can't hardly see in the windshield.

Doc visit is very time consuming, let alone expensive. Usually it takes a few months just to get an appointment. When you get there it's then hours in the waiting room, so it blows half a work day easily. Then you're in for an expensive bill for the visit itself.

Plus notary fees

Very interesting and strange. I wonder if that applies to security exemptions too... Thanks for sharing!

Your understanding is wrong. If you read the top portion of the Medical Exemption Form (located here: http://lsp.org/pdf/WindowTintExemption-Medical_new.pdf)
as well as the law's Section D (Located here: http://www.legis.state.la.us/lss/lss.asp?doc=88295) it clearly states that the windshield, with the exception of the top 6 inches, is not included in the exemption.

Not only that, not all doctors are comfortable filling out those forms. Which in my sisters case I was able to get an exemption since she didn't drive till her mid 20's and I've been driving since my early teens (I'm younger then her).

And she has never had any problems even when pulled over with the notarized letter approve from lsp.

Apparently I'm wrong, but that the same time, that form had since been revised since 2009, and she moved out of Nola before Katrina, so maybe it was valid back then. Bc I went with her probably in 2003 to get her brake tag and they gave her one after giving them the note. Her windshield was 18% btw

The old forms are invalid and only the new ones are (supposed) to be accepted by LEO as well as inspection stations. The new ones are also only good for three years unless the owner of the vehicle is over the age of 60.

Old folks get all the breaks.
