When he pulled me over, he looked right at my thin blue line sticker (Both my parents are cops). Then he looked at my National Guard shirt, asked where I was stationed, how long I've been there, and when I leave. Then he came back with a nice ticket for me.

While you were at fault for having too much fun, that cop was most definitely a douchebag. A member of our armed forces AND a direct family member of a cop? Have you mentioned this to your folks? I'll bet that will piss them off more than the offense.
Don't waste money on the lawyer. First, CALL the NC State DMV and find out about the points transfer. If the points don't transfer over, pay the fine and be done with it.
Have you ever been convicted of careless driving or speeding before in NJ? If you have benefitted from the lesser statute (N.J.S. 39: 4-97.2, Unsafe Operation of a Motor Vehicle) twice before, you can't do it again. If you have not, then ask the prosecutor about pleading guilty to that offense. It will indeed cost you just under $500 but for no points and thousands in insurance increases, it's worth it.
And next time, look around for cops before you stab the skinny pedal!
