So from the company perspective, what else are you capable of from an ethical standpoint knowing what is wrong, but then doing something that might compromise the very company you work for.
Just as many don't like "personality tests", but they usually can find deception in answers just by moving a few words around, asking that same question 2 pages later, and then they look for an inconsistency. For instance, anyone that answers "have you ever lied?" and says NO is absolutely full of shyte.
Life isn't fair, but a private company is pretty much free to hire and fire on their terms.

The problem is assuming such a trivial thing as indicative of a "mindset." I have purchased several used cars where the PO had tinted the front windows, never to the extreme of too dark to see the passengers, but tinted nevertheless. Does the fact that I don't think it's worth the time and money to disassemble the door window to remove a tint that is
legal in 49 other states yet is illegal here simply because it's after market, make me think I'm above the law? Most of the time, I didn't even know the tint was applied.
My point is this, maybe your HR friend needs to ask a few questions. Maybe the car is borrowed. Maybe they don't know it's illegal because they know of no one who's been stopped. Maybe they're from another state where it's legal. Maybe your HRfriend does ask questions. Jumping to a conclusion that one feels above the law based solely on his window tint is ridiculous--especially when you extrapolate that they may be unethical from that single fact.
