The statutes that prevent the transporting of animals in an inhumane or cruel manner were being loosely interpreted by some in NJ. They have since backed off. As far as I know only a handful of states require a dog to be crated or tethered when being transported in an open cargo area. ie: back of an open pickup truck bed. Your biggest risk from a LEO would be for distracted driving if the pet was interfering with your control or attention. As far as NJ here is there update:
New Jersey SPCA backtracks on animal restraint enforcement

Heck most states don't even require adult seat belt use for back seat passengers. Not saying it's smart but just for once the government isn't passing laws to protect us from ourselves.
