The Macan S has 3M Crystalline as well, 70% front, 40% side window, no front license plate as well.
I should mention I have left my temporary tags on my car since I have received my car and I have never taken it off, hell I never even put on my real license plate. It might be due to the fact that my area has a lot of high end cars w/o front license plates, almost everyone here does that and the cops just don't really care.
Now, I been in Santa Monica ONCE w/ my 328i and I was given a ticket for no front license plate. I don't live there so I just paid it off. Front windshield and two front windows are also tinted, was only 1 ticket for the missing front license plate. It is probably something to do w/ how unlucky you are because I don't rarely see cops pull you over JUST for that. They usually tack on Fix-It tickets when they give you other tickets like speeding or something.
Least for me anyway.

I agree. I have never been stopped specifically for this.
I have been stopped for expired tags, but I expect in many cases expired tags can lead to other issues - "where there's smoke" kind of thing.
