Window Tint Laws in Maryland and D.C.

Window tints laws require a significant amount of light to be transmitted in car windows. Once pulled over, a police officer may check to see if your car’s window tints are legal or not. You may ask yourself how police officers can do that. In addition to knowing how to check for too much tint, you must know the window tint laws in both Maryland and D.C.

How do the police determine if a window has too much tint?

The only way to determine if there is an actual violation of the statute is for the officer, after stopping the vehicle, to conduct a test utilizing a “two-piece window tint meter.” This handheld tool can read whether a car’s window has too much tint based on state or local laws that regulate the level of visible light transmission (VLT) that is allowed through a car’s windows.

If the VLT level is below the legal limit, the officer may issue a citation for a window tint violation.

Black Licorice Lawsuit

Black licorice contains a compound from the licorice root that can cause consumers to suffer serious health issues including abnormal heart rates, high blood pressure, and congestive heart failure. Many manufacturers of black licorice products have started using a synthetic version of this compound which is safer. Hersey and other companies, however, have refused to switch to the safer synthetic version.

Zoloft Pregnancy Birth Defects and Side Effects

by Ronald V. Miller, Jr.

Note: We have a 2024 update on the Zoloft lawsuits at the bottom of this post. The rest of the post was written eight years ago in 2015 when there were high hopes for the class action Zoloft lawsuit.

Depression treatment is essential. This is especially true during pregnancy. Untreated depression can have harmful effects on both the mother and the baby. But we are learning more about the use of antidepressants and the increased risk of problems for the baby.

John Hopkins believes in 2022 that anti-depressants do not cause birth defects
New JAMA study in 2022 says Zoloft is safe during pregnancy

Zofran Safety Study in 2015

This study supports prior findings that women who use Zoloft during pregnancy are at an increased risk of giving birth to an infant with birth defects that could include severe heart or cranial malformations.

According to findings published in the American Journal of Obstetrics & Gynecology, the use of Zoloft may increase the risk of atrial and ventricular defects by more than 30%, and more than double the risk of craniosynostosis. (2023 Update: In fairness, this study has not been replicated and most experts believe Zoloft is safe during pregnancy in 2023. That does not mean that it is. But it is fair to say that most experts today believe Zoloft is safe for pregnant women.)
