<human>: Can you summarize the given text in a few sentences?

about a month and a half ago I purchased my first car.  When I bought the car I noticed the windows had a pretty dark tint but, not knowing much about cars, I didn't think much of it.  Fast forward to two weeks ago, I get pulled over by a state trooper on the highway who informs me the tint is 29% (legally it must be 35% or higher) and proceeds to write me a ticket for $255 despite me explaining I recently bought the car and had no idea the tint was illegal.

A local policeman told me that if I appeal the ticket and change the tint to a legal limit before the hearing I can likely be found not responsible for the ticket.  What I am wondering is, can the small used car dealership where I bought the car be found responsible to pay the cost of changing the window tint?  If so, what is the best way to approach this situation?  Any guidance on this would be much appreciated since I have no prior experience with a situation like this.
<bot>: I unknowingly bought a car with illegally tinted windows and got a ticket. Should the used car dealership where I bought the car be legally responsible for paying for the tint to be changed?
