His explanation was that she was in the left lane (which apparently is a crime no matter what the circumstances), was doing 80mph, and failed to signal when she pulled over for him.
He wrote her for 80 in a 65, reckless (which his explanation was that its because the road is wet, meant while she said there was no ice and it was sunny), driving in the left lane, and failure to signal.
As of right now she plans to delay the court date as long as legally possibly. I guess I'll wind up defending her to the best of my abilities seeing as how she doesnt have the money to pay for a lawyer and the tickets.
1) Do points transfer from NJ to PA? She is registered, insured, and has her license there.

Most of this sounds like small time town cop. I got something similar in Plainsboro. He put Pace for speeding, failing to use directional and reckless because I was weaving in and out of cars when the real story is; he was NEVER behind me so he could not have "paced" me, I DID use my directional and there were no other cars around for me to be in and out of. At the end he said he could have given me a ticket for evading. HE WAS NEVER BEHIND ME, and he didnt have lights on until he turned down the street I was on.
I would get a lawyer for this as it will get turned around on you/her very quickly.
And points transfer between most states now, PA/NJ are reciprocal so they will show up on her record but way after the fact then she will have to wait until the actually show up->then wait 3 years before they come off.
