NJ Inspection Check Point
I just got nailed by a totally random New Jersey Motor Vehicle Inspection station (MVC Mobile Inspection Team). Aside from being given 2 tickets from the police (no front plate, tint), the MVC FAILED my inspection on the spot. They removed my valid inspection sticker for up till 2009, and put a FAILED sticker on. Nothing I can do about it, the cop was standing right next to the guy.
My question is, does anyone in central/northern NJ have any inspection hookups? I am originally from NY, and have none of those kinds of connections in NJ.
PS. The inspection station was located on 514 going towards the Woodbridge Mall near the Armory, watch out.

It has failed inspection for the following condition(s):
Glass failure: tinting
Spray tint on R-Lens/3rd B-Light Missing.
License plates present but not mounted (just my front was not mounted)
Obstructed license plates
Surprisingly even though I have test pipes, as per the OBD system, I passed emissions. Could have something to do with the non-foulers I have in to trick the O2 sensors.
This is 100% totally random, and everyone I have spoken with is very surprised. Granted the things I failed for are required in order to PASS, I think it's total bs that they randomly do this to people. As I stated earlier, if anyone has any hookups, please pass them along, or else I am SOL.

Hey crypten. Actually I am friend's with lana (Mike's gf) and she asked me because I live in Bayonne. My inspection sticker is good til 2007 but I am not sure what you would do in a situation like this. I know of some connections but I need to make sure they can do this for you. If anything can't you just fix the mistakes they failed you for and go back to inspection? Seriously, I have never seen anything like this.

I can fix the issues easily, ie: remove tint, remove overlays, but it's going to cost me more to get it reinstalled, which sucks. I have never seen anything like it either, in NJ or NY, but always a first time for everything. I guess you can call this a heads up to anyone that is approaching a checkpoint in NJ from now on, turn around if you can. Pretty f'ed up, but what can you do.

Btw, my V1 did nothing to help me. They had it setup around a turn, no way to avoid it, no radar warning at all.

They do that in Spotswood/East Brunswick area a lot as well. what you have to do, is pull over, kick a U turn, and find a way around that. specially if you see the big white box truck with the cops, I have done that before when I had my STi, I know they saw me do it, but I couldnt care less, let them chase me down if they really want me that bad.
