If you feel this is a violation to your rights so be it. I see it as common sense. These laws are not designed to create problems but to prevent them.

I was looking at the broader picture. We have so damn many laws in this country now, most of which cause more problems than they solve, that it's impossible to take a dump without breaking one. In the meantime, there is always someone waiting to write a ticket to generate a few more dollars to fund the bloated and ineffcient local/state/federal government.
Those tail light covers, while certainly not my cup of tea, don't keep one from seeing the brake lights, so this was a revenue generating ticket, and nothing more.
On window tint, fine, you want to make it illegal based on safety/ visibility reasons. That means THE COPS CAN'T HAVE IT EITHER!
