FORGIONE | https://l.facebook.com/l.php?u=http%3A%2F%2FLeagle.com%2F%3Ffbclid%3DIwAR1XBbNAQoqYJjH8BpTv2KKMTP6b-KjiJuC24lnzoU3xRub9yK1KogSMOFsandh=AT1nCRM0TohsBVsWrTDQO6-XM4qx_WFosPskF-hwlFTT_ADLXfFACb5hMYmdjHxsAgr1O3EdYImBj4_pUg1T7rsWVS6kc8f0HwA27NSALP3fXzZDZUnRE48Ymn6EPalcbipGJ21fPDstfa7xoAand__tn__=-UK-R (Leagle.com) 1993 The court ruled that the provisions of 39:3-15, which exempt from the automobile equipment standards of Title 39 a vehicle licensed in another state and owned by a resident of that state, do not prevent a law enforcement officer in this state from stopping such a vehicle or requiring the driver to produce registration and driving credentials when the officer observes and equipment violation. A Law enforcement officer cannot ascertain whether an out of state licensed vehicle is owned by a resident of that state without checking the registration credentials of that vehicle. It is not unusual in this day in age for a resident of one state to register his car in another state. Consequently, entitlement to the exemption of 39:3-15 cannot be determined until the registration credentials confirm the vehicle in question is owned by an out-of-state resident and properly registered there. The only practical way for that conformation to occur is for the police officer involved to review the appropriate credentials.
