Arkansas Violation Warning

If he didn't do an inspection it will not go on your CSA. If he did do an inspection it will go on your CSA. It sounds to me that he did not do an inspection but that's for you to find out.

 

If they did CSA inspection the should have given you a report.

 

I think you should've asked the officer who gave you the warning. A good friend of mine was recently given a written warning on I 40 in TN for 5-10 over

 

it went on his CSA

 

Look at any papers the officer made you sign before you got back on the road?

 

Thats what I have been told.

 

Typically if an officer gives you a DOT inspection he will tell so. He will normally say that he is going to perform a Level 1, 2, or 3 inspection. With only checking your license and truck info that would normally fall short of a full level 3 so it's likely he didn't do an inspection. Moreover; after an inspection they will usually give you written documentation of it. Having said all of that there are some really sloppy DOT officers out there who perform their job poorly so you really never know. One more thing, was the officer even DOT certified to perform inspections? Many State Troopers have not received the training and are not qualified to perform inspections.
