A recent video we shared generated a lot of questions about “illegal window tint”. Here are the basics: 🚗Driver and front passenger windows can have window tint that allows 25% light transmission 🚙 All other side and rear windows can be as dark as you want 🚘 The windshield cannot have any tinting below the “AS-1” line. The photo shows an example of illegal window and windshield tinting.

SCAM ALERT: The White Collar Crime Division of the Smith County Sheriff's Office iS monitoring and documenting impersonation and Bitcoin scams targeting families of inmates.
The Smith County Sheriff’s Office, nor any official law enforcement agency, will NEVER call people asking for payment over the phone.
The pattern centers on fraudulent claims of bond related ankle monitor fees, directed payments through Bitcoin ATMs, and the misuse of Smith County law enforcement identities, Smith County Sheriff’s Officials reported on Monday.
Victims receive unsolicited phone calls and/or text messages from individuals claiming to be with Smith County Pretrial Services, the Smith County Jail, or a lieutenant or deputy with the Sheriff’s Office.
Callers often have accurate information about a relative currently in custody, which lends credibility to the scam.
The suspects ask if the victim uses Cash App, Venmo, or similar services, then directs them to a convenience store or gas station with a Bitcoin ATM.
Once these funds are deposited into Bitcoin machines, they are quickly moved through multiple private wallets making it difficult to recover any of the victim’s funds.
