Crazy woman.
Cop handled the situation well I thought.
Put it in the boot....Guessing you never carry anything in a car that is remotely attractive to thieves then.
As ever there has to be exceptions but apart from them no vehicle windows should have a tint level that makes it even remotely difficult to see and identify all the occupants and that includes by CCTV cameras and those mounted on traffic-related cameras.
Put it in the boot....
It's called security glass for a reason...... Tinting on the fronts I agree with, but what about a van, that's got no windows at all in the rear?
Sorry.. but I don’t see the point you’re making re a van without rear windows. My point was about cars which do have a rear window. Same with your point re ‘security glass.‘ How does that relate to my point regarding a tint ?
If a car is single crewed they should always ask for assistance if they are concerned about a suspect vehicle, before they make the stop.

I often have stuff both in the boot and on the back seat.
An edit after posting. Re tinting..maybe you were referring to a tint stopping items in the rear being seen. It’s not unreasonable to suggest that,that in itself would attract a would-be thief..ie..what’s being hidden..let’s take a look...broken window.
If a thief thinks somethings in there, he'll do the window, open the back door, and drop the back seat to check the boot. I know, it was done on my car, twice, on my drive. And both times it was empty.
My point was more that you made a statement that everyone (and therefore everything also) should be able to be recognised even by cctv without seeming to consider that tinted windows are used for anything other than criminal activity.Everything ,including shopping, goes in the boot if I’m going to leave the car. I wouldn’t leave a jacket or coat in there in case a thief thinks there might be a wallet or mobile in it. That avoids a broken window.
Thank Goodness I live in Cornwall!!
Is all I can say.
Not totally Crimeless but .....
This is why, for my last 4 cars, I have had in built SatNav, rather than a 3rd party unit. Had one stolen back in 2006, I know who did it and got it back, but when I bought my next car, I decided that an in built system was safer.
I now no longer live in London, and have left my car unlocked for a whole weekend on the drive without issue (not intentionally I may add...). If they want to get in, they will. A friend of mine had his car taken, the pulled up along side it and lifted it onto a flatbed. When the neighbours challenged the guys in the truck they just replied "He hasn't kept up with the payments, so we are repossessing it"!!!

My work requires me to transport some very expensive kit on occasions. Some of this requires the rear seats to be down, I have an estate car, so no, not everything can go in the boot.
Obviously I avoid putting the seats down or putting things on tge seats whenever possible.
Ps, it's called 'Sun protection glass' in my car, and it does work as that. Very useful if you have children.

Different people lead different lives and so have different needs.Put it in the boot....

I was just thinking that myself re where we live.
If it says Cisco or Sun-Oracle on the box it's generally expensive.Is this a real word problem? I used to regularly carry stuff which was worth many times what the car cost but it was always boxed or otherwise covered up in some way. It's not rocket science. On occasions I used a van too.
And now we have the rest of the Country down here on "Holiday" FFS, with quotes of why should I wear a mask I came down here to get away from all that.
as if we were exempt from the Virus Rules.
We, Locals, feel more Lockdowned now than when we were.. Afraid to go out in case we meet a Carrier of it, as iI said for FfS.
The Cornish economy does rely on the holiday trade.

Plus, on occasions I need to transport kit that isn't boxed, servers.
Then cover the kit up.
Sorry but am I talking to an adult here?
I used to routinely carry computer kit worth many times the price of the car and never once came up with excuses like you. You cover the stuff up and / or make it look mundane and uninteresting and when you need to leave the vehicle you leave it alarmed and if at all possible in an area that offers some security.
It ain't rocket science, or maybe it is to you.
Whoa, quit with the insults please.Then cover the kit up.
