If it's owned by Metro that means a no.

55-9-107. Motor vehicle windows with tinting, reflecting or sun screen material. — (a) (1) It is unlawful for any person to operate, upon a public highway, street or road, any motor vehicle in which any window that has a visible light transmittance equal to, but not less than, that specified in the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 205, codified in 49 CFR 571.205, has been altered, treated or replaced by the affixing, application or installation of any material that: (A) Has a visible light transmittance of less than thirty-five percent (35%); or ( With the exception of the manufacturer's standard installed shade band, reduces the visible light transmittance in the windshield below seventy percent (70%). (2) Any person who installs window tinting materials in this state for profit, barter, or wages or commissions is defined as a “professional installer” for the purposes of this section; and it is unlawful for a professional installer to apply tinting materials to any motor vehicle so as to cause that motor vehicle to be in violation of this section. (3) All professional installers of window tinting materials shall supply and shall affix to the lower right corner of the driver's window an adhesive label, the size and style of which shall be determined by the commissioner of safety, that includes: (A) The installer's business name; and ( The legend “Complies with Tennessee Code Annotated, § 55-9-107.” (4) All professional installers of window tinting materials shall supply each customer with a signed receipt for each motor vehicle to which tinting materials have been applied that includes: (A) Date of installation; ( Make, model, paint color and license plate number and state; © The legend “Complies with Tennessee Code Annotated, § 55-9-107, at date of installation”; and (D) The legend “This receipt shall be kept with motor vehicle registration documents.” (5) The owner of any vehicle in question has the burden of proof that the motor vehicle is in compliance with this section. (6) (A) The restrictions of this subsection (a) do not apply to any of the following motor vehicles: (i) Any motor vehicle model permitted by federal regulations to be equipped with certain windows tinted so as not to conform to the specifications of subdivision (a)(1)(A) with respect to those certain windows; (ii) Any motor vehicle bearing commercial license plates or government service license plates that are used for law enforcement purposes, for those windows rearward of the front doors; and (iii) Any motor vehicle that is registered in another state and meets the requirements of the state of registration. ( This subdivision (a)(6) shall not be construed in any way to exempt the front door windows of any motor vehicle of any kind from the specifications of subdivision (a)(1)(A). ( (1) Notwithstanding the provisions of subdivision (a)(1) to the contrary, any person with a medical condition that is adversely affected by ultraviolet light may submit a statement to the commissioner from that person's physician certifying that the person has a medical condition that requires reduction of light transmission in the windows of the person's vehicle in excess of the standards established in subsection (a). The commissioner shall submit the certified statement to the department's medical review board for evaluation. If the review board finds the exemption warranted, it shall recommend that the commissioner authorize the exemption, and the degree of tinting exemption that is appropriate. The commissioner shall then supply a certificate or decal, indicating the degree of exemption, to the applicant who shall display it in the motor vehicle. (2) Any applicant aggrieved by a decision of the medical review board or the commissioner may appeal in accordance with the provisions of the Uniform Administrative Procedures Act, compiled in title 4, chapter 5. The appeal may be made to the chancery court of the county where the aggrieved applicant resides at the option of the applicant. © It is probable cause for a full-time, salaried police officer of this state to detain a motor vehicle being operated on the public roads, streets or highways of this state when the officer has a reasonable belief that the motor vehicle is in violation of subdivision (a)(1), for the purpose of conducting a field comparison test. (d) It is a Class C misdemeanor for the operator of a motor vehicle to refuse to submit to the field comparison test when directed to do so by a full-time, salaried police officer, or for any person to otherwise violate any provisions of this section. (e) The commissioner of safety shall establish a standardized method and procedure by which law enforcement officers can readily, and with reasonable accuracy, conduct a field comparison test to determine if a motor vehicle's windows are in compliance with this section.

That is incorrect nowhere in TN law does it allow a rear window to be darker than 35%. Also you should be aware 35% is the total not just the film put on. If you have some factory tint like most vehicles do 35% on top of that will typically drop you to less than 35% light transmittal rating. Now if somewhere in the federal statute it states SUVs are legal then yes it would be legal by TN statute but I have tried making since of the federal statutes regarding window tint/film and I didn't see anything about it being legal for rear window. Do it yourself is legal the sticker is for a professional installer. They can be issued a citation for installing illegal tint.

T.C.A. 55-9-107 is our tint law. Basically what it says is a passenger vehicle may not have any window with a light transmittal rating lower than 35% except for the manufacturer's factory shade band. This means all the way around the vehicle. Those graphics on glasses are illegal under this. There are exceptions for commercial vehicles, Law Enforcement vehicles, and subjects with the Department of Safety medical sticker.

They may have changed it since last I heard. They at one time allowed a TDOC employee with 5 years qualify and carry a firearm with a authorization from the commissioner or warden if I remember correctly.

TDOC employees who are vested "5 years" can qualify and carry a firearm like an LEO with permission from the commissioner.

Most places want you to be the prosecutor to ensure you will show as prosecution witness for hearings.

I've had my debit card number taken and used before. Luckily Bank of America gave the credit back immediately upon report of the fraudulent charges and issued me another number. I never had a police report done because frankly it won't help. I as a Officer know that report doesn't go anywhere the bank fraud investigators are the ones who investigate those cases.

I usually would just host it using a image hosting site like imageshak then enter the code or site link in the insert picture option in your post. Maybe somebody has an easier way?

I've actually worked crashes that involved this. We secured the firearms at the police station until either owner or relative could come get them. No hassles just sign the property sheet and here is your gun. I wouldn't dare let a tow company take a firearm I've heard of too many things come up missing in a company's lot.

They were exporting small arms yes but they were using hidden compartments in crates and labeling crates as lawn mower equipment when it was full of weapons parts. Sounds like they did it to themselves.

Question for you guys. Do you have different holsters you use for different carry methods? Like one holster you generally use for open carry and one holster for concealed. I do but its mainly for appearance standards. I use a nicer looking leather holster when I'm plain clothes ex. court or administrative duties. I use closer riding Matrix holster a lot when off duty trying to conceal my Glock. Just wondering if I was the only odd bug out there that did this.

The easiest way to get the gun back from a evidence room is when the judge signs the court paperwork for dismissal he also needs to issue a signed order to release evidence/firearm back to owner. I recommend this way to avoid any issues with evidence custodian.

It doesn't have to be done in the courtroom just if DA nolle pros or dismisses it then has judge sign the paperwork. You won't have any court costs. It should say dismissed cost to state. Glad to see the DOS owned up to their mistake sorry it happened to you.

If the HCP is revoked you are ordered to return the permit to the state. I believe 39-17-1352 is the statute for this. Basically the same for a driver's license. It is illegal to possess a suspended or revoked driver's license and it is to be sent back to the state. There are nice forms you sign and it serves as a receipt for license. Seizing a HCP while arresting a subject for say carrying a handgun while intoxicated is no no.

Go to district attorney's office with TN DOS paperwork. Explain the situation and tell them you want the case dismissed and expunged. Make sure the charge is completely off your record and then request paperwork stating the case is dismissed and the evidence can be released by the court to you.

If the weapon stays in your vehicle you should be fine. I would not remove the firearm and re holster while on school property to avoid any issues.

I personally like being informed when I stop someone but I don't get pissy if they don't tell me. Typically if I'm actually doing traffic enforcement I really don't care I just get the stop done either ticket or warning and move on. But there are several threads before this one you can search. It's up to you but do what you think is best and safest.

I don't see how Kendell vs State will have any effect on today's statute or conviction in relation to intent to go armed. Different laws and different courts.

If he didn't have a HCP he should not have been carrying a firearm. If for some reason I was to stop you and there was no indication that you guys were up to no good at most I might just have him unload it or let you hang on to it. Tell him to get his permit there is too many crazy thugs running around these days not to be armed.

You pay additional for anything. The motorcycle license or "M" is just that an additional license not an endorsement. If you are caught operating a motorcycle without the M license you can be charged with Driving without a license. Just a side note to anybody on the forum who drives or delivers for a business make sure you get your F endorsement if needed. I can't tell you how many people have said well they didn't tell me I need it.

I had the same thing few days ago. The next day after the sore throat was horrible. Go ahead go get some sinus meds from the pharmacy.

Do you not have the locking tailgate box in the back of the jeep? If not I would rather personally lock my expensive weapon in the glove bock and leave the boxed ammunition in the rear floor board. Get a permit already, an unloaded gun is useless when you need it.

Your point system is on a 12 month system. Any points on record are not counted after 12 months of infraction. You are only allowed 12 before suspension if I'm not mistaken. Also here is the official point values from the state. Schedule of Points Values

A little information about police reports. Even if that weapon was used in a suicide the serial number would have no entry into a computer database like NCIC or whatever you want to call them. It probably was listed in the report as a identifying number on that piece of evidence but that stuff on a report is not entered like that in a computer. It would be listed if you reported a weapon with that serial number as stolen. I wouldn't even mention the suicide part to someone wanting to buy it.
