If states did try to write up tickets for out-of-state drivers for offenses which are not offenses in their home state, it would turn into a jurisdictional clusterf*ck. Due to the "full faith and credit" clause of the US constitution, each state is bound to give a certain amount of respect to the decisions made by other states, so I should think that if a vehicle passes whatever requirements are necessary in the driver's home state for registration, the other states will respect that it is a legally registered vehicle in that state, and not require that the vehicle should additionally pass whatever requirements are necessary for every other state.
