Motor vehicle laws. Complicated jurisdiction question.

I have recently been wondering about something. I'll use a Florida RV as an example because I’m familiar with some things about that state and how it differs from others.

Florida: pretty dark window tints are allowed. Now, if I take my Florida vehicle up to a state where they do not allow window tinting, and my Florida vehicle has Florida license plates, Florida registration, I have a Florida license, can they give me a ticket for having window tints that meet the legal requirements of my state? Even if I’m just passing through another state?

what about inspection stickers? Florida doesn’t have motor vehicle inspections. What if you go through a state that requires motor vehicle inspections? Can you get a ticket for no inspection?

I ask because I did have something kind of similar happen to me. And they wrote up the ticket. Even though I was completely legal in my own state. they said I can just fight it in court and I would probably do fine. But why waste all this time?

I doubt the inspection sticker would ever be an issue. there are lots of states that don't require any inspection.

There are some things that aren't covered by reciprocity.
a) things attached to the front windshield even if it by suction cups are illegal in some states and reciprocity doesn't apply AFAIK.
b) I think window tinting may be another one.
c) double towing, reciprocity doesn't apply
d) overall vehicle length reciprocity doesn't apply

For a long time I accidently drove and owned 3 dodge rams trucks in Nevada that were still registered in TX. One time pulled over by Hyw patrol for doin 10 over and he being a former service member was familiar with TX DMV. He checked to make sure my TX sticker was current and also my USAA insurance card was current.

I truthfully told him I was not employed or doin business in Nevada and was give only a warning ticket. Cheers to me the good guy.

Some things are reciprical. Some aren't. Nobody cares about a Florida inspection except Florida.
Something like double towing is different. Double towing is not legal in VA, it doesn't matter if it's legal in your home state or not, you can't do it here.
We'd have to know exactly what you were ticketed for, where. And exactly what the laws are. I'd just call a lawyer if I were you.

Window tinting is a safety issue for the state where you are driving. Yes, you can be ticketed.
