Question: Can minors get pulled over solely for having super tinted windows? What is the legal limit for tinted windows?

Answer:

In Arizona, anyone can get pulled over for violating the law concerning the tinting of windows. Arizona Law (A.R.S. § 28-959.01) says that any material on the window that lets through less than 33% of the light entering it is illegal.

well... the only reason i want tinted windows is because i think a car looks dumb when it doesnt have themm.. it looks like a fish bowl.. and i also dont like having ppl staring at me when i drive! so i dont think a cop should pull you over for stupid reasons like tinted windows... dont they have better things to do? i think so... so unless you've done something to make them be suspicious.. they shouldnt pull you over!
