LMAO I have got to bone up on my trucker lingo. When I saw bird dog in the title I couldn't imagine why they would choose to ban the dogs used to hunt pheasant and duck but not other hunting dogs like bloodhounds.

 

I know 3 people that have been caught.

1. Entered a port of entry in Arizona and they made him park. Cost 1,000.00 and loss of the unit.

2. Found with it on the road and the officer gave a choice. Ticket or run over it. Dead unit.

3. Found during a search of the truck. Seized and fined 1,000.00.

 

I find it one of the dumbest laws ever. I heard one trooper say they hated it when the law went into effect. He said they could warn anyone with a detector that there was trouble ahead by turning on their radar/laser and what ever else to let the drivers know to slow down. Beats the heck out of running right into a pileup.
