The police can be quite intrusive, but I only really had this in the south of Sistan-va Baluchistan Province. I was approaching Sravan, hoping to see the nice fortress there, but the police did not allow me to enter. I didn't know at the time, but there had just been an attack on the police station or something. I then got an escort for a couple of hours. Otherwise there were lots of checkpoints / searches but I never got an escort. I think in Jask I was made to go to the police station for some time-wasting and then was free to go again.
I deliberately travel in an unmarked Toyota pickup, as it blends in... the more obviously foreign you look, the more likely you are to get escorts.
Sticking to smaller roads is another good way to get in. If you take the road along the coast east of Minab (a very bleak stretch indeed) towards Charbahar you should be fine. If you go on the main Kerman - Zahedan highway you will be stopped and given an escort to the Pakistan border. Not sure what they would do if you said you wanted to go down to Charbahar... they might escort you all the way.
