A: You can go to court to fight the tickets however you don't have a defense if your windows and license plates were tinted. Unfortunately the law is not equal and just like they are allowed to speed and your not, so are they also allowed to tint their squad cars windows and plates. Unfortunately, the only thing you can do is help change the law and make it more equal.

A: The statute does not allow you to have tinted windows in the front but you're allowed in the back. It's just a small fine without collateral consequences so I never read it but they may have carved out exceptions for law enforcement. Your defense if they violate statute so can I won't work in court.
