WATCH: Cops Attack Paraplegic Dad Over Window Tint, Assault Him for Not Being Able to Exit Car

5 October 2021



If ever you think that all traffic laws are for your safety, one thing can change that view—window tint. In the land of the free, if police feel that your window tint is too dark, they will claim the right to extort money from you. If you resist this extortion, police will claim the right to kidnap or kill you. Unfortunately, in the land of the free, these instances happen so frequently that they are often caught on video too. As the following incident illustrates, fearful cops whose only tool is the escalation of violence, will not hesitate to resort ...

Body Cam Shows Cops Drag Paraplegic Dad Out of Car by His Hair, Attack Him Over Window Tint

11 October 2021



As TFTP reported last week, Clifford Owensby of Dayton, Ohio, recently learned the violent and oppressive lengths the American police state will go to enforce window tint extortion laws. Owensby, who had committed no crime, was targeted by police, assaulted, and then sent on his way because of the arbitrary darkness of his window tint. Over the weekend, body camera footage was released released by police, showing just how brutal cops are willing to be over the darkness of a man’s windows — and skin too. Thought the cellphone footage was bad enough, after independent media outlets ran the story ...

What Is the Legal Limit for Window Tint in Ohio?​

Updated: Nov 3, 2020

Ohio law enforcement measures window tint with visible light transmission, also called VLT. The rules for window tinting are simple and go according to the type of window. The Ohio window tint law is no less than 50 percent VLT on the driver side and passenger side windows, 70 percent VLT on the windshield, and no requirement for the rear window of backseat windows. Additionally, side mirrors should not be more reflective than a regular window.

It is illegal for car vendors to sell vehicles with window tint that do not meet the visible light transmission requirements. It is also illegal for people to drive these vehicles.

What Is the Darkest Legal Tint?


The window tint laws in Ohio are not as stringent as many other states. The darkest legal Ohio window tint law is 50 percent VLT for the front side windows. Many other states have tint laws that prohibit windows that do not meet 50 percent VLT, mainly for the windshield and the side windows. However, many do allow a free range for backside and rear windows.

New York and Iowa are two states with the strictest window tint law in the United States. Iowa requires 70 percent for the front side windows and any tint for the backside and rear windows. New York has a window tint law that requires 70 percent for all side windows and free-range tint for the rear.

States like Florida are different from Ohio and have much lower requirements. Florida states that drivers must have at least 28 percent VLT on the front windows and at least 15 percent on the back and rear windows.

Worst part is at 14:15 where they grab Clifford Owensby by the hair and drag him. Remember, the guy is paraplegic and can't walk.

Clifford Owensby says Dayton police violently arrested him last month even though he is paraplegic and repeatedly told them he could not use his legs to get out of the car during a traffic stop. New police bodycam video shows the officers dragging Owensby out of his car and yanking him by his hair as he shouted for help. Owensby had his 3-year-old child in the car at the time of arrest. He has now filed a complaint with Dayton’s branch of the NAACP. “The officers should be placed at least on administrative leave,” says Derrick Foward, president of the ...

Records shed light on traffic-stop-video officers, driver

24 October 2021



When two Dayton police officers dragged a paraplegic Dayton man from his car last month during a traffic stop, the images caught on video brought about days of protests and both criticism and praise for the police officers’ actions. Video recordings show Dayton Police Officer Vincent Carter tell the driver, Clifford Owensby, that he was pulled over because his window tint was too dark. Dayton Police Officer Wayne Hammock told Owensby he needed to get out of his car because they were calling a drug dog due to Owensby’s “history.” Dayton police commanders later clarified they were referring to his ...
