What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? CA
I have an interesting question about whether the CVC requires vehicles to have side windows if they are originally equipped with them. I have looked (albeit briefly) over the whole CVC and it seems like Chapter 4: Windshield and Mirrors (26700-26712) would be the place to find such an answer, but I don't seem to find one. Example: a thief breaks your driver's front side window. Would it be legal to not replace the window (at your own risk, of course)? Or must there be one?
Where I'm going with this is... many people get fix it tickets for illegal window tint. Being that I like to work on cars and have removed my side windows before fairly easily, I came up with the brilliant (I know some of you will disagree) idea that if one were to remove the offending windows completely from the car and then take the ticket to get signed off, they may have found the most inexpensive solution to the issue, provided that it is not in violation of some other law.
I think Carl will be able to provide the most experienced answer, and I would specifically appreciate his input on the matter. Thank you.
