Thanks for insightful reply.
They definitely patrol this road a lot trying to nab people going to the plant I was doing work at for speeding,seat belts, etc. See them all the time I am up here. They even bull**** with the security guards at the plant gate/security house all the time.
Next time I'll just keep my mouth shut and only say that I didn't realize that my legally installed tint from CT was not legal in NY.

Won't happen. The tints are staying. They are legal where I live work 90% of the year.
To me it's the principal of the fact that they are legal where I live.
If it comes to getting a ticket....I'll just pay the Man.

i'm so sorry officer, I didn't realize. . .
is the best answer.
we all wish LE would be more customer service friendly but how much will you trade for increased enforcement, safety, etc.
i defend civil rights claims vs LE, 99.999999999% are professional, serious and legit, it is that 0.000000001% that gives LE a bad rap.

hmm... seems like where your car is registered does not matter
From a NYT article, link below:
While cars with tints that are legal in their home state can be ticketed in a more restrictive state, state troopers said they are unlikely to stop a car for illegal tint alone. For example, a law in Georgia that would have enforced tint laws only on cars registered in the state was thrown out in court as discriminatory against residents. The tint law now applies to cars passing through Georgia, but the police say they largely don't enforce it. Nor is New Jersey's law widely enforced.
''It's a violation of our motor vehicle law, but are we going to cite you each and every time you come through the state? No,'' said Dennis Hallion, a New Jersey state trooper and chairman of the National Troopers Coalition.<ul><li><a href="http://query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpage.html?res=9C06E5DD113BF930A1575AC0A9619C8B 63&sec=&spon=&pagewanted=2">http://query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpage.html?res=9C06E5DD113BF930A1575AC0A9619C8B 63&sec=&spon=&pagewante
