Curious to see if there is such thing as car tint that can't be photographed ?

    by "can't be photographed" you mean "blocks view in pictures"?

    I don't believe such a thing exists aside from a dark tint

    curious to see why you need it

    Most metallic tints are very difficult to photograph through. Though in most U.S. states it's illegal to have reflective/ (even moderately) dark tint on the front windows, and any tint at all (except maybe a small strip at the top) on the windshield. So, yes, but not anything you'll be able to safely/legally see out of at night for the purposes of driving a car. (I'm assuming this is for dodging automated speedtraps/redlight cameras)

    except those cameras take pictures of your license place

    They also take a pic of the driver.

    So you know who to yell at when the ticket comes in the mail.

    Just going to go on record here and say that tint that obscures important features of your vehicle or the interior completely is illegal in a lot of states. So you should just drop this idea.

    Why do you need something like this?

    Either explain, or I'm going to infract you and lock the thread.

    there are also regulations on how dark the tint can be on the back windows of passenger cars in some states.

    there is no legal way to block someone from taking a picture of either the driver or your license plate in any state. blocking the picture will cause a larger fine and penalty than running a red light would.

    I think what he's getting at is that he wants something that won't register on the sensor of a camera and thus make it seem that there is no tinting when looking at the photograph.

    This is impossible. A camera's optical sensor works the same way your eye does. If your eyes can detect the tint, so will a camera. If the camera can't, well you get the picture.

    If it were possible, this would be just as illegal as tinting your front windows and windshield.
