Legal Question in Civil Litigation in Iowa

I have a exemption form for window tint in iowa, my wife was pulled over and given a ticket becuase I was not in the car, but the exemption form was and the vehicle is registered in my name. No where in the law do I see that the person requiring the exemption has to be in the vehicle? What is your advise.

450.7(3) Dark window exemption.a.A person suffering from a severe light-sensitive condition may be exempt from the standard of transparency if the need is documented by a physician. The exemption does not apply to a commercial vehicle.b.A passenger or operator of a motor vehicle who for medical reasons requires a front windshield, a front side window or a front sidewing with less than 70 percent but not less than 35 percent light transmittance may obtain Form 432020 to be signed by the person�s physician and carried at all times in the vehicle to which the exemption applies. Form 432020 is available from the office of vehicle services.c.�Physician� as used in this rule means a person licensed under Iowa Code chapter 148, 150, 150A, 151 or 154.This rule is intended to implement Iowa Code section 321.438.

Thank you

I disagree. It says "a person may be exempt from the standard of transparency." That does not say that the vehicle is exempt.
