A: In general, a person is precluded from receiving a medical exemption for tint on a motor vehicle if they have been convicted of a violent crime or drug-related offense. At the time of requesting the exemption, a background check is usually performed, after you file an affidavit, that allows the DMV to search for convictions within those areas. Assuming that none exist and that you have a valid medical reason you may be entitled to it.
