A chase is a race. Oh wait, thats street racing.
I enjoyed playing cops and robbers as a kid, and get to it as a adult for a living.

Brettj3876, Feedman and sevenmph Thank this. -
Downieville is the name of that scale? I always thought of those as the "mountain scales". Never been up that way in over a decade either. -

Changes are coming. It's called hyperinflation. -
As far as CO scales being run by Dept of Revenue, that is from the weight-distance tax days. Back then, scale guys just did the paperwork and tax stuff, CSP would show up to do any inspections.
I don't remember the details, but that Plattsville scale is setup for remote operation of some sort. Saw an article a while back, but can't remember where.
We often run the back roads from S. Littleton to the Springs. The higher GVW let's us take another car. But Palmer Lake has a freshly-minted truck enforcement officer who has a tough time grasping the concept of "I'm not allowed on the Interstate at this weight" and is starting to be a pita about it. I've started running 86 & 83 to avoid further opening the tap on the developing peeing contest. Been too busy to stop and chat with a CSP DOT officer about it. He's started threatening to take us to the scale, and I ain't got time for that fight right now!
