Yeah, well, you notice it's the service station owner that's claiming the meters cost $500. He is opposed to the new law, which is a hassle for him, so of course he will exaggerate a bit on how expensive it will be. He also says he has to inspect 500 cars to make back that $500 cost of equiment. But he gets $2 per car. So it's really 250 cars he needs to inspect.

I have a feeling this service station owner is just making this stuff up.

Also, if they are going to pass a law about tinted windows, and they want to enforce it, the inspection center is the logical place to do it. That way it applies evenly to every car, not just on the whim of the cops on the street.
