The problem with not clearing off your car is it's hard to see the state trooper right behind you

And the use of the discarded cup holder shows the driver doesn't have a brush handy. Perhaps he/she will learn.

Someone should show him where Target and KMart and the like are - $15 will get him all the snow gloves and brush that he needs!

keep even basic car supplies like a winter brush and scraper, washer fluid, and jumper cables in their car.

of a mere warning because they are totally inexcusable. Not clearing snow off your windows is one of them.

Not to minimize the work of State Troopers, but he gets a Twitter verified account? He must have some pull!

Anyone can ask twitter for a verified account now. You just have to provide a reason.

Representing a public agency would easily be approved as a reason.

He is on the staff of MSP Office of Media Relations.

If it's the driver's responsibility to have a safe veh, one assumes that this trooper also regularly pulls over vehicles for improperly secured load? Didn't think so.

Is it for the snow which can fly off and hit the cars behind or the general lack of rear visibility? Seems like there are plenty of vehicles without rear visibility - that can't be against the law, right? U-Hauls, vans, etc...

My guess is violation of window tint law, because Massachusetts.

It's the snow flying off problem. For example, you can still be ticketed if you clear off your rear window but leave a pile on the roof. This driver technically still had rear visibility with their side view mirrors, just as one would if driving a u-haul, or if you had a big box in the back seat.

State Troopers can cite you if they see you (as in this case).

I, for one, am glad of it.

That contradicts the ideal of being a nation of laws.

And the morons who don't turn on their lights when it's raining or dark out. I see stupid stuff like this every day.

What they should do is ticket every car that's parked in city limits. Even if the meter is fed. That's valuable real estate and we need to take it back!

I believe this is covered by the all inclusive MGLC 90 S 13 "Impeded Operation." Same as dog on lap, fuzzy dice hanging from windshield etc. I believe there was an amendment to S 13 for texting. AFAIK, it's still a $35 fine.

Meh. Got nothing on that guy in Wellesley from last year who cleared just enough of his FRONT windshield to see through.

Unfortunately, I've seen many more than one "guy from Wellesley" doing this in Boston.
