I would take what he did as a warning and add to my driving experience.
As far as out of state vehicles getting a break, I'd say the scales are tipped in the driver's favor since tourism is a big revenue industry in some states so the LEOs may let you off with a "warning" such as you got. Bottom line is the mood the LEO is the most important factor. That can make all the difference.
