as $urlRouter.sync() doesn't work with stateChangeStart, here's an alternative:

    var bypass;
    $rootScope.$on('$stateChangeStart', function(event,toState,toParams) {
        if (bypass) return;
        event.preventDefault(); // Halt state change from even starting
        var meetsRequirement = ... // Perform custom logic
        if (meetsRequirement) {  // Continue with the update and state transition if logic allows
            bypass = true;  // bypass next call
            $state.go(toState, toParams); // Continue with the initial state change
        }
    });
