It just comes down to wether or not a parking lot counts as a roadway or private property. They couldn't give you this ticket if you had your car parked in your driveway. Parking lots have weird rules though.

Not sure what difference it makes. Having your windows tinted is illegal because cops can't see inside the vehicle in case you get pulled over. Laws are still enforceable on private property and if a cop needs to pull you over in a parking lot he still needs to see inside your vehicle.
If cops happened upon a robbery at sobeys for example and a car with limo tinted windows was in front how could the officers possibly try to defer if that vehicle is dangerous? Get away car with armed individuals inside or some guy picking up his wife after her shift?
The car didn't just magically fall from space into the parking lot. It had to drive on public roads to get there and that's why I have no sympathy for people who get tickets for tinted windows.
Put yourself in a cops position pulling over a vehicle and having no clue what's inside. That would scare the crap out of me.
