Drivers are up in arms after Russian police declared war on the dark tinted glass ubiquitous in cars from humble Ladas to limousines, while stars complain they can no longer hide away from their fans.

Under a new law that came into force July 1, police have the powers to remove the number plates of cars that have dark tinting unless the driver scrapes off the protective film on the spot.

I imagine with tint like that the police couldn't see the Kalashnakov being pointed at them from inside.

Well, there goes the automotive glass tinting industry in Russia, with the stroke of a pen.

One thing I've always wondered. I suppose it's illegal too, but if the car that Dianna died in had been fitted with silvered glass tint, on the rear side windows, to reflect photographers, would there have been an accident.  :question:
