    Nope nothing wrong, if I was doing something wrong they would have a different reason then just, random inspection. It is a lvl3 and Has been the number of times I've been stopped

    You can argue til your bllue in the face about this. I agree, you don't have to be doing anything wrong to get an inspection. Had one in my life at the Thousand Oaks scale in CA and probably half a dozen on the roadside. I have no speeding tickets, no accidents and zero CSA points but have been randomly pulled over more times in the last 5 years than a guy I know that has been driving for 41 years. In fact, he got his very first level one two years ago. After 39 years of driving.

    A friend of mine attributes my inspection ratio to my zz top like beard but honestly I don't think that's it as they can't see that when pulling me over from behind. Some guys just have good luck and some don't.

    In all my inspections, there are no points. Getting pulled in and inspected and getting ticketed are two different things.

    Does this question apply to big jay too? Just because you haven't been pulled over doesn't mean others haven't. You're arguing that were lying and that you're right. How does that make any sense to you?
    Why were they bullying me. I SEE TRUCKS pulled over in nv allllll the time.. they dont have a reason why they pull us over they just do.
    I'm done going back and fourth with you because apparently you know everything and were just living in your beliefs what u say goes

    I have to agree. Noone on the highway has more time in the saddle than a driver. A driver is the expert at driving. When driving down the road, you see things well before others do, you read traffic and roads, you become so smooth and fluid at your driving that when you hit bad weather it doesnt affect you. You train yourself to look for what stands out on the road.

    The HP has more time in the saddle than any 4wheeler. You can spot an HP at night in an unmark by the way he drives. He is trained to look for what stands out. There are some times where you run by an HP faster than the limit and he doesnt notice you because you dont stand out. The 4 wheelers for the most part drive blind. They run right up to the cop, then see him when they are 20 feet away, and slam on the brakes. The brakes get Smokey's attention. So Smokey pulls out the median and follows. Blind drivers try to 'behave' (you know, drive correctly), but they cant since they've never learned how to. Suddenly, they are going from side to side, checking their mirrors, running 55 mph even though the limit may be 70, homodriving, afraid to pass someone or being passed by someone they just passed. Everything about the way they drive says to Smokey that the want to avoid him in the worst way. So Smokey has to pull you over.

    Never did anything wrong if I'm not driving the speed limit I'm driving 5 10 under the posted speed limit, I've been to jail I've been pulled over in My 4 wheeler days safely I can say the HP or the badge dont scare me, my logs are always straight and paper work up to date.

    I stated multiple times that I only get this in Nevada, which I can see why tho. Nevada is a training grounds for nhp. And probably because they dont have any scales. They have 2 check stations going west 1 open rarely and 3 going east, I drive all 410 miles of it 2x a week back and fourth 4 times total I've head my encounters and still do rarely now because its cold I'm sure
