Ticket for tinted windows but car is not registered for that city

Asked over 2 years ago - Chicago, IL

i got a ticket for my car's tinted windows. chicago ordinance bans tinted windows on cars. my car is registered in my parents town. can i argue/challenge that since the car is not register in chicago, the cpd has no for jurisdiction issuing me a ticket for not complying?

but my car is registered at my parent's home address (not chicago) where there's no ordinance on tinted windows (it complies with ill laws, it's less than 35% tint).

You can argue no jurisdiction and show the paperwork of registration. Then, leave the matter for the judge to decide.

Check with a lawyer in your locale to discuss more of the details.

Good luck to you.

God bless.
