Where I work the rigs all have tinted windows in the back. The two windows on the back doors are mostly covered by a star of life decal.
I recently had an incident where it was important that the patient in the back did not see the family following behind the ambulance. The ambulance crew wasn't aware of this, and there was nothing covering the back windows. Of course the patient saw the people following behind, which was what wasn't good.
Do your rigs have some sort of coverings on the windows? Do you really care either way?
I've also had a patient that was allergic to UV rays (cant think of the dx) and had to cover all of the windows. One day I'll work for a service that has those fancy windows where you flick a switch and they turn black... one day.
