Can anyone tell me which airports in New Jersey are good for plane-
watching?

I was in the Home Depot parking lot adjacent to Linden Airport when
local police told me I couldn't be there, since it was a "restricted
area." There's never any point in reasoning with the local police, so
I left.

any help would be appreciated.

You might want to look on google satellite map to check which might be
the best viewing areas. There could be other streets at a better
viewing angle that you might not be aware of. There is nothing illegal
about watching airplanes from a public space. I agree that you cannot
reason with a paranoid police officer, so you might want to make call
the sheriffs office about this.
