That wasn't a scraper, it was a brush.
Something like this.

It is indeed illegal according to NYS Vehicle and Traffic Law S395A §1229-e:
> CLEARANCE OF SNOW, SLEET, AND HAIL.
>
> 1. NO PERSON SHALL OPERATE A MOTOR VEHICLE ON A PUBLIC STREET OR HIGHWAY WHILE THERE IS AN ACCUMULATION OF SNOW, SLEET, OR HAIL ON THE ROOF OR CARGO BED SURFACES THEREOF, WHETHER OF ANY OCCUPANT COMPARTMENT, TRAILER, OR OTHER CARGO COMPARTMENT IN EXCESS OF THREE INCHES.
> 2. THE REMOVAL OF ACCUMULATED SNOW, SLEET, OR HAIL REQUIRED BY SUBDIVISION ONE OF THIS SECTION SHALL NOT APPLY DURING THE FALLING OF SNOW, SLEET, OR HAIL OR WITHIN THREE HOURS AFTER THE CESSATION OF THE FALLING THEREOF.
> 3. (A) THE OPERATOR OF A NON-COMMERCIAL VEHICLE IN VIOLATION OF THE PROVISIONS OF THIS SECTION, EXCLUDING A DISABLED OPERATOR, SHALL BE SUBJECT TO A FINE OF NOT LESS THAN ONE HUNDRED FIFTY DOLLARS NOR MORE THAN EIGHT HUNDRED FIFTY DOLLARS.
Do you really want to risk a $850 fine from an unsympathetic police officer or even more in damages/civil liability if you cause property damage or an accident due to the snow on your vehicle's roof?
> It is however still very stupid to leave a pile of snow up there because if you cause an accident when it all hits the car behind you, you will he [sic] found at fault.
Yep. Be considerate of the person behind you as well as your own self. It takes you all of 2 extra minutes. Suck it up and just do it.
If you are short or have a gigantic car and can't even see the top of the roof let alone reach it with a standard snow brush, consider shelling out a smidge more than $1.97 for a telescoping adjustable snow brush like this one. They're totally worth it and make shoving snow off the top of the car a breeze.
Tip: Buy the longest ass window brush/scraper you can find. Not this, not even this, but something like this.
