NJ - What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? New Jersey
I received a tint ticket last week for having tints on my front two driver/passenger windows, on which no tint whatsoever is allowed in NJ. The ticket was for about $50, no points. But get a load of this.. as part of my work I travel to a lot of offices in the state, and last week one of our clients was the county prosecutor's office. I noticed the prosecutor's own vehicle, which had regular civilian (not municipal) plates, ALSO had tints.. the tints were probably 5% ("blacked out"), much darker than my 35% tints. This vehicle was in the reserved spot for "County Prosecutor".
Would it make any sense to take a picture of this vehicle and fight the ticket? I'd never normally fight a $50 tint ticket but this changes everything for me and I want to fight it on terms of principle. If the county prosecutor is going to have blacked out tints on his own personal Dodge, how can he make me pay a tint ticket for having tints on my personal Civic?
Anybody know if prosecutors or law enforcement are exempt on their personal vehicles? I don't want to look like an idiot in front of the judge. Thanks!
