    Az always says they're looking for supporting documents and they don't give you the option of refusal
    The thing Is, there is a new law coming in that makes it mandatory to show receipts for things purchased on duty.
    I don't believe it has been enacted yet.
    Az is using the supporting documents thing to do searches.
    I know a guy who got searched in az and the dot harrassed him for not having food receipts
    Who buys food or meals on duty?
    Smh

    They love to sit just west of Yuma
    They pull one over at random and take him to the fly J where they search the truck
    The big scale in Douglas will search you too for no reason.
    Best keep a clean truck through AZ

    The new law says you have to have receipts for anything bought on duty.
    The guy I know who got searched said the officer harrassed him for not having food receipts
    That's ridiculous
    It was just an excuse to search the truck
    Cop didn't care about receipts

    Wait, what? Yea right! I hate to use the term, but I'm going to need a cite for the law to even think you are not high, much less simply wrong.

    That's just gonna tie up trucks in the fuel island even longer as drivers fuel then walk in to stand in line to get their fuel receipt.

    Well, he didn't write me off for this since it was all good, but oh, well... since I was pulled over he did the inspection anyway. He just used it as a pretext for pulling me over and than played an idiot, that he saw it I guess.

    It's true
    Very soon we are going to have to have fuel receipts as supporting documents
    Might as well start practicing
