Those are not primary offenses and an officer can't stop someone just for those items alone.

Aside from the window tint, the other items are what officers write instead of giving you a point violation summons like speeding.

The obstructed license plate has recent case law that pretty much allows it because a Judge decided to legislate from the bench. This is why officers do not write a summons under this item anymore. You're more likely to get a summons for obstructed windshield or delaying traffic as an alternative to a moving violation like speeding.

It may be that California has a density of 251 people per sq mile and Jersey has a density of 1,260 people per sq mile, not including the tourists coming from NY and PA on any given summer weekend.

Jersey beaches are also way more crowded and have more obnoxious individuals who do not care about trashing the place.
