Police observed a white Chrysler 300 with very dark tinted windows traveling northbound on Meharry Drive, and initiated a traffic stop on the vehicle once it pulled into the driveway of a residence on Fisk Avenue. Police asked the driver of the vehicle to roll down the rear windows, for the officer's safety, and the driver did so without issue. Police then spoke to the driver of the vehicle who identified himself, and asked why he was being pulled over. Police explained to him that his tint is very dark - it was later measured at 16 percent - and in Tennessee the legal limit is 35 percent. Once the driver was told the reason for the traffic stop, the woman passenger became irate with officers, claiming they were harassing her and that this was the third time she was being stopped in this vehicle for tint. Officers attempted to deescalate the situation and talk to the woman passenger, but to no avail. The woman, upset with officers, then demanded the name and badge numbers of the officers present and to speak to a supervisor; a sergeant responded to the scene and spoke to the occupants of the vehicle. The driver was given a warning for the tint, and officers left.
