States have regulations requiring license plates or headlights to be within a certain distance from the ground. Its part of the vehicle equipment law and has no relevance to whether the car is moving or stationary.
We know driving low as some of us do is illegal, why would it be stupid for us to assume that because we aren't driving, our cars are somehow legal?

I really doubt a cop will go out of his way to give a slammed park car a ticket. Plus you won't be present. I don't think he can just leave a ticket on your window either. fkn commiefornia.

If you don't research the laws to find out what is legal or illegal before you start modding, then you can't really blame the cops can you? Every state has their vehicle equipment laws posted online. It's something you should read before you mod so that when you're stopped, you can know why (and then accept responsibility for knowingly breaking the law).
I've heard of headlights being a certain distance, but I haven't heard the license. Middle of headlight has to be no less than 24" from the ground...my truck is bagged and the bottom of the headlight is higher than 24" when its laid out. So why should I get a ticket for that?
FYI, here's the TX statute for headlights:
SUBCHAPTER E. GENERAL LIGHTING REQUIREMENTS FOR VEHICLES
Sec. 547.321. HEADLAMPS REQUIRED. (a) A motor vehicle shall be equipped with at least two headlamps.
(b) At least one headlamp shall be mounted on each side of the front of the vehicle.
(c) Each headlamp shall be mounted at a height from 24 to 54 inches.
Acts 1995, 74th Leg., ch. 165, Sec. 1, eff. Sept. 1, 1995.

i think their basis for this is that if they wanted to tow your car, they wouldnt be able to if you are too low..hahah suckas...but i ride/parked slammed all the time.....i always planned that if a cop pulled me over for riding low..i'd just air up and say "officer what are you talkin about?"
wonder if i can make him think he's crazy..or if he's gonna call me on my bs. hahaha

Tinted windows,
Smoked Tail Lights,

But lucky the judge through out the case & got pissed at the cop
Lucky guy
