In People v. Butler, the court reversed appellant’s conviction for transporting cocaine, because the arresting officer lacked reasonable suspicion to stop appellant’s vehicle due to tinted windows. The court “disagreed with the People’s suggestion that seeing someone lawfully driving with tinted glass raises a reasonable suspicion of illegality such that a reasonable inquiry is justified.” (People v. Butler, 202 Cal.App.3d 602, 1998)
