The Florida Agricultural Inspection Stations Report

The inspector should have replaced the seal and documented what happened, along with the new seal number.

 

You should have made the sign your bills and had them install another seal and also had that seal number wrote on the bills.

 

That could be a problem at the receiver.
Maybe you should have made a video of the entire thing?

 

Just another "abuse of power" story. This whole doing an inspection without getting a clean inspection form in return is complete BS. He should have given you a clean inspection, made note of him breaking the seal and resealed the trailer. Instead he chose to be a jerk, no surprise there.

 

He’s an ag cop not a dot cop. They don’t do truck inspections. He was inspecting the cargo.

 

So, what did you do to piss off the officer? While some officers are ego driven and can't do their job, the only time I've ever heard of the guys at a Florida ag station not be professional is when a driver intentionally kept pushing.

Yes, that should be no excuse, but it is what it is.

 

Ah, 10-4, I have the AG Bypass so I never go in. They still should have some type of form noting what they did, wouldn't that seem like the right thing to do?

 

They should have notated the bills and installed their own seal
