    Scale at Qew stoney creek just before fifty rd exit. I pulled into flashing light and proceeded after the stop sign only to be waved into coned areas by two individuals with reflective vest, red glow sticks and iPads. They stated they are Transport of Survey and asked for my document's and log?? I asked if they are Mto which one replied no and hand jestered to his walkie talkie stating I can call him for you. Excuse me but wtf is this entrapment ########, they are checking and asking questions like mto and while mto officer sitting at the back waiting for these third party to radio him in ...... This just happened and I'm furious . Gave them no info and left while other drivers behind me who got stopped by these crooks are voluntarily giving information to these individuals. This is some conspiracy going on here . Can anyone confirm this if driving by. Or experienced this. Every driver should be worried if government is hiring these third parties to supplement mto officers to entrap people.

    Had it happen once at milton westbound. They wanted to know what I hauled and load details. Not an inspection. Just some kind of survey I guess. Whatever. Real exciting stuff....

    I assume they can't be on the property without some kind of L.E.O. there also.

    If you left as you say then it's not entrapment.

    This is not something new. I remember going threw one at the scale just past Southdown rd going eastbound in Mississaugua. How long ago was that?

    If they are NOT sworn Law Enforcement they can burn those clipboards to stay dry up there.

    Saw this in Saskatchewan once with a bunch of university students. No CVSE personnel present, they were testing some new drive on roll up portable scale pad.
    Not a big deal.
