Sorry, was not intending to preach. Are you saying that the kind of privacy required to make the driver (women) invisible to outside can be provided by the legal 70/50 VLT tints ? I doubt because with the existing tint on factory glasses, it is only light film that can be pasted to stay legal. Also, do you really think all those that have films on their cars today and want it to stay, opted for films meeting CMVR limits ? Does anyone really go into a sun-film shop and say, "Hey, this is the VLT of my factory glass. Please give me film that when pasted on the glass keeps me within CMVR" ? Actually did we even know about VLT till this whole thing happened ? Quote:

Does the CMVR specifically say that it is allowed to stick sunfilms as long as the VLT is within 70/50 ? If so, please post a link and then yes, you have a point and the ruling needs to be modified. But in the search done by me, I not only don't see a mention of sun-films in CMVR anywhere, but there are also penalties laid out for sticking film, which to me implies that they are not allowed at all.
@mayankk, I did read Sugeeta's thread the day she posted it (though did not follow it after that). And regarding phone snatching, that was discussed earlier in this thread - keep costly stuff away so as to not give a cause for snatching. That's how it is the world over and we have no option but to follow. Quote:

Well, if tints within allowed limit help inmates stay inconspicous, then why not ? Though there still is not clarity as to whether CMVR allows sun-films at all. If it does, then the court cannot modify an existing law and thus they will have to change their ruling to accomodate this. If not, the ruling is perfectly right in banning any films and then parliament needs to change the CMVR for it to be legal.
