Then you don’t answer questions, but ask, “Am I being detained?” Next, “Am I being arrested?” Next “I need to talk to my lawyer” Next “Why am i being detained/arrested?” Next “Am I free to leave?” Next “Do you have a warrant?” They represent the law, they’re not THE law, as many think of themselves. They don’t like me… I’m not talking about reason for stop like you are guilty for speeding but just some one wanting to check you for an obvious lie like that tire bulge.
According to this..they’re required to have certain certifications to inspect https://www.fmcsa.dot.gov/sites/fmc...-04-revised-03-30-2020-implemented-0420_0.pdf
A lot of places have local cops that are certified to inspect. I know Kansas has quite a few running around because they did a news story about how local departments could now help the short staffed highway patrol by doing commercial vehicle inspections.
Alot of counties in Wisconsin have a cop or two that are trained to do DOT inspections. I've met a few over the years. Lol
Yes. Next town over. The scale was in Addition, IL. upon pulling me over he claims the shipper is supposed to list on my BOL why they spead my axles... Knock knock officer... its a fixed spread
It’s what makes ducking that scale in Olathe extra fun. Not only do you hafta watch out for DOT, you hafta watch out for the city kitties too!
Lol i know the one! I HATE that scale and area. Only one worse is the northen davenport scale. Every single time i take the north scale i get a level 1. I always use the south one because of it.
Sounds like his first day on the job. What a tard... Were u able to get out of this without any bs violations?
