I've heard in arizona its ok to have it as long as its not "on/open" on the street. But CA has really strict. This is virginia state law:
Devices used to supply nitrous oxide to the engines of motor vehicles.
It shall be unlawful for any person to operate any motor vehicle on the highways of the Commonwealth if such vehicle is equipped with any device that supplies the vehicle's engine with nitrous oxide, unless the device has been disabled such that the supply of nitrous oxide is disconnected and not readily accessible to the source of delivery. Violation of any provision of this section shall constitute a Class 3 misdemeanor.

Im also interested in this topic because i want to add some spray in the summer.
I think the law is.....you can have it in the car but the bottle can not be hooked up. The feeder line has to be disconnected.

I was pulled over in Irwindale awhile ago. I asked the officer about, he told me that as long as the bottle was disconnected it was perfectly fine, all the connections and solenoids can be there. But the feeder line can not be connected. As far as smog ref, my source, who im not naming, Is the North Orange County State Ref, told me that he will fail anyone who has it installed, regardless if the bottle is connected or unconnected, Anything after the mass air flow sensor is illegal. So anyway, if you have the jets just chillin and there not connected to the engine, unless its direct port, and you have a plug or something covering the whole where the jets plum into the intake than it is legal; Well in the smog ref's point of view. You can still have all the solenoids and lines and all that good stuff, it just cant be connected to the engine.
Remember guys, Anything after the mass air flow sensor and before the catalylist is illegal, in California, unless you have a C.A.R.B. sticker. But who cares

My buddy got pulled over, and they said about it is that it can't be opened. Which makes me wonder why more people don't have automatic openers. That is what the CHP officer told him

ii got pulled over for speeding, i was indeed speeding. The bottle is mounted on the hump, and was uncovered. The cop asked me if it was "hooked up" i said yeah cuz it was. no reason to lie right? and he just tole me he wasnt gonna hassle me about it. oh and that i "probably have 1,000 illegal modifications under that hood"
oh yeah and im 99% sure you can carry upto 10 lbs. of n2o without having to have a license from the DOT to carry.. so 10lb bottle and your fine....
just hide it

Actually I talked to my friend who has been a cop for 7 years now. He said technically as of Jan. 07', in California, there cannot be any signs of nitrous in your car. No lines or anything. He said usually cops won't say anything if there is no bottle hooked up, but if they wanted to be an *** they can site you for it and send you to the ref.

yes this is true.. you used to be able to have the lines, soleniods.. ect.. so long as there was NOT a bottle mounted in the car...
but who cares.. NAWZ sucks... its for loosers like BallzDeep to feel good about themselves..

DAAAAAAYUM soooon...
