You're right. I didn't catch the "Local attorney" in my first reading of the excerpt, and clicked the video link with the sound off.
VT does allow window tint, which the article improperly states it does not. What it doesn't allow, is window tint on the front side windows. Tint is allowed on the rear side windows and rear windows. The part when the driver's door is opened by the tow truck driver is obscured a bit, but it does appear the windows do have somewhat of a tint, but they don't appear to be as dark as the rear window, but can't tell if that's due to the overcast and low-light situation, or actual tint.

Just went back to the whole video and also listened closer.
From the appearance of the window when the truck driver got in, the left front window was definitely tinted.
The cop called the tow truck. I am not sure if the attorney had agreed on the one called.
When the attorney found out his insurance wouldn’t pay for it he objected and tried to disconnect the tow cable.
The tow truck driver then attempted to ‘confiscate’ the car for non-payment!
