So if you're a resident of some jurisdiction other than New Jersey, and
have a valid ham receiver in your car, you have to remove it when you
enter New Jersey, right?

As another netter suggested, you have the right to receive whatever
signals you wish, but you just can't drive while receiving certain ones
of those signals because driving is not a guaranteed right.  So I guess
you have the right to live outside of New Jersey too, but if you do,
then you might lose the right to drive in New Jersey.  (That isn't the
case yet; it just needs one more step to get there.)
