    Ive dealt with winnebago county. They did thier best to extort money from me. I drove down there 3 times at 800 miles each (and I wouldve did it a dozen times) if need be. In the end they didnt get a penny.At the pre trial the DA offered me 3 years probation and a 700.00 fine. I told him to get bent Ill be back.

    I wonder if a guy could go to a permanent Illinois state scale and ask to be weighed by an official

    you say..."we missed" did you have an escort? if so, wouldn't the escort company be liable for this? or "we missed" as you and your co-driver?

    In the first post you said. 105000 pounds, so are the scales at the Rochelle Petroleum not certified?
