It's a regulatory offence.
Possession with intent to distribute is criminal in nature and is illegal regardless of where the drugs are located.

So my analogy is bad, but your analogy about fixing your car and getting a ticket for doing so isn't? Come on now, pot meet kettle.

You can't claim that you cannot get a ticket because your car is on "private property". Private property or not if it's against the law it's against the law, regardless how dumb you think the law is.
Also the ticket he got was a non-moving violation, which is the not the same as a moving violation.
