AS long as you are below your legal gross vehicles weight and legal in your home state the lawyer can touch you. (for that )
News Flash! Home state speed limit 80, speed limit where you at 55, 80 will get you big ticket. If your Blood alcohol is over the limit where you at, they don't care what it is at home. You legal towing 2 trailer at home, but the state you are in does not allow? You better have a plan, 'cause adjustments will be made. Over length?
Many do not understand, if your drivers license is good at home for the vehicle you are driving, then you have no DL issues. But if the vehicle is not legal in the state you have no right to drive it.
states have reciprocal agreements that allow other state vehicles to operate legally .
Reciprocity Agreements often only apply to driver licensing, registration, and insurance. That's why, if you drive your Jeep to Moab, UT with large, wide tires that stick out beyond the fender flares, you just might get a ticket that requires you to fix it or park it. Legal equipment in your state might not be legal in the state next door!
It is a good idea to research the laws in your state, and any state you plan to visit. You might be pleasantly surprised to find out what is or is not covered by law. Remember, "Ignorance of the law is no excuse!"
