I'm going to be taking a short trip back to NJ with my NC tagged car I sure hope the NJ State Police treat me better then the NC troopers who wrongly accused me of speeding when I moved down here in my NJ tagged car.
Do NJ cops pick on out of stater's like they do in NC?
BTW I plan on driving with the flow and speed of the others on the road and will not be attempting to break any NC to NJ speed records.
No, they don't. When I lived in North Carolina, I visited family and friends in New Jersey and Pennsylvania many times and never had one nuisance stop.
I do see out of state cars stopped, but don't know if it's because they're clueless enough not to stay out of the left lane or something else. Typically you should be ok but like everywhere else no guarantees.
Do you have a smartphone? Download Waze - it's incredibly accurate in my experience at calling out where cops are sitting.
In general, i think out of staters are targeted just because they know you're unlikely to fight it. But I've had a surprisingly good experience in NJ with police. the weekend i got my new car, i was shocked to see my speed on the NJTP coming back from visiting my BIL in DE. I only noticed it because a car was riding my tail...it was a cop. Let's just say I was purely justified in having the worst ticket thrown at me, but the cop cut me a break - i dunno if it was because i was honest with him and told him i just got the car, and i didn't realize i was going that speed, or if he was just in a good mood.

When I'm on the parkway, many cars I see pulled over to the side by state troopers are NY or PA cars, but there are also plenty of NJ drivers, as well. The biggest issues are speeding, staying too long in the left lane (I heard they're cracking down hard on this on highways this summer), and cell phones. As long as you don't do those 3 I just listed, I think you should be fine.
