They always get thrown out, but not by mail.
Of course, it "won't" be in the state for more than 20 days at a time.

That specific officer told me that once a car enters the state, it must be fully legal within that state so I believe you are expected to remove the tint at the border even for sight seeing.
I had a vehicle there all summer with 25% on the front with no issues. I actually called a few different police stations and sheriff's office and they all said it only mattered where it was registered

I don't carry, so no problem for me

Makes me think about tolls and temp plates
