Officer Minch confirmed at trial that this matched what he saw but that it was ‘kind of gloomy’ that day and he was unable to verify Sanders’ age, sex and ethnicity through the back window. Sanders is black. Officer Minch did not try to identify the driver through the front or driver’s and passenger side windows, which were untinted. An expert’s measurement determined the tint was well within the standard, allowing 38 percent of light to pass through. That was not enough to allow Sanders to walk.”
