Bill Summary
AN ACT to amend the executive law, in relation to requiring persons with tinted windows lower such motor vehicle's tinted windows during a traffic stop
AI Summary
This bill amends the executive law to allow police officers to require drivers of vehicles with tinted windows to lower all windows during a traffic stop if the officer has a reasonable belief that the tint poses a potential threat to their health or safety, until the officer determines there is no danger. The bill defines "tinted windows" as those with less than seventy percent light transmittance, which is already a violation under section three hundred seventy-five of the vehicle and traffic law. This provision aims to enhance officer safety during routine traffic stops.
