That's how it works. Driving in the state of NJ is a privelage not a right. Driving with a burnt out headlight is a safety issue in more ways than one. Not just for the driver but for the other cars around. The only way to enforce it is with some type of penalty.
Cops have a very difficult job to do, and until you know what its like to be in their shoes it's easy to criticize them. 90% of police work is minor things like pulling over people that have headlights out. The other 10% is the stuff that messes with their mind and is the reason why cops have a job and recieve special training. Having someone you know die on your watch is pretty powerful.
To be bothered with something like changing headlights..or maintaining others' vehicles is rediculous. While that cop is figuring out what light bulb fits your car some little girl could be getting abducted.
