I got a ticket in NJ last year. The cop actually had the nerve to say - "I see you have a NY license, just send the fine here, pretty sure you won't get points."

You are probably correct, a cynically enterprising cop. RI awards higher penalties I believe, and no points means they often throw the book at people for things that other states might add points instead.
In my cirumstance, two tickets were 20 over midmorning events on sparsely populated highways. The NY thing was actually a 65 limit, but apparently there is a single section of 55 as you pass under a bridge. Road was straight as an arrow. The last ticket was a 10 over, 35 in a 25 down a grade high in 3rd gear on my other car.
