DOT Inspection

No, they cannot do that. Have you retained an attorney yet? Sue them. It’s the only way to stop this piracy.

 

For the record I don't think any cop can legally stop any kind of vehicle just to look. However back in realville where most of us live good luck proving that in court. A DOT cop can say I heard air leaking. I thought I saw a flat tire etc etc. Most all police officers that work traffic have studied how to do this in classrooms. Swerving is a favorite stopping excuse. Like I said it is not right but they do it. Except it and act accordingly.

 

Gosh.. DOT enforcement officers inspecting vehicles and enforcing the law.. What's next.. Doctors practicing medicine? OH THE HUMANITY!!!!

 

Sarcasm?

 

Police Officers have procedures and rules to follow. I am not an Attorney but i am not sure they are supposed to be allowed to legally just stop a vehicle just to go take a look. However for as long as I can remember DOT has been stopping CMVs for §350 purposes. However no matter if is is proper or not. You are going to lose that argument even if illegal unless you happen to get the officer on tape admitting it.

 

Not to me they won't. I'm on private prooerty. I will get out lock doors and go inside.

 

I figured that you'd call the Federal Marshals..

 

Marshals keep a red phone just for truckers.

 

They can inspect truck all they want. I'll just go inside the j and take a number 2, until they leave.
