So what would the proper procedure to "clear odors" from my vehicle be then? JK!

This is actually 100% not true. In my cavalier i had 5% and 20% tint, car had never been registered in the state of MN(was in WI) and I received mullllltiple tint tickets. Not to mention, Nate with his 300 gets pulled over all the time for his tint and he has his car registered in Iowa.

It was state patrol. for those of you who have gotten tint tickets in Minnesota with out of state plates did you also have out of state drivers licenses? I have 20% on the back and 30% on the drivers and passengers so theres no way he missed it even after I told him I had tint. I asked him what MN tint law was and he said "I don't like telling out of state people this but we can't ticket you for tint. Only (here's where I may have screwed up. I think he said registered minnesotans. not if your car is registered in minnesota.) Either way I'm safe.

nope...had a Wisconsin license up until about a year ago, and Nate had an iowa license.

I've gotten actual tickets for tint on the interstate, and fix-me tickets in Winona when going to college.

Well then I have no Idea what happened. I got a warning for the speed, Warning for not having the current insurance card and nothing about the tint. maybe he was just a nice guy? I straight up told him I had it though thats what makes me think that its true. He did say that if its TOO dark like limo or darker you can get an unsafe driving ticket. But idk if that is just a tint ticket in disguise or what.

i dont think they can give you a ticket for no front plate in nebraska... A police officer cannot enforce his state laws to out of state registered vehicles unless the vehicle has an expired registration because this is universal.
i would check into this janik...
