REVscene Automotive Forum - View Single Post - HIDs... do the police actually care? (if so, how to report serious offenders?)

Unless they issue city VTs for defective equipment under the MV Regs I don't believe the city gets any money back. I believe there is a share of $ from actual driving VTs..eg speed, red lights etc but I'm not aware if MVAR VT cash gets sent back.

As far as ticket "quotas" (which don't exist) go, if you mean "totals' then defective equipment VTs are not a primary target VT like would excessive speed, red lights, stop signs, due care etc. I still wrote them but preferred to give a non-fine VI which would require the problem actually be repaired instead of waiting 18 months for the dispute to maybe end up in court, have the JP reduce the fine and the defect still be unfixed.
