SHOULD I ASK FOR A DOT INSPECTION?

There are two issues I want some feedback on:
First, is it too unethical to request an inspection in order to collect a bonus?
Second, In what cases, if any, is it legal for an employer to "fine" a company driver for such things as: going out of route; getting a ticket; damage to equipment (even when not at fault); DOT inspection violation, etc. I don't recall signing anything giving my employer permission to do this, but even if I did ...?

To the first issue, many companies offer bonuses for clean inspections. When at my company it went up to $200, I was tempted to get one on purpose but decided against it. Recently, the clean inspection bonus went up to $450! Now, I'm really tempted. The "fine" for anything being wrong on an inspection is now $150. I had a conversation with someone in the Safety Dept., the safety guy said, "I have some drivers who get inspected a lot, like once a month at least". At the time, the bonus was $300 and I thought, "are you just stupid? Isn't it obvious such drivers are taking advantage?"

In over 6 years of driving, I have never been inspected except one time I accidentally drove by an open scale and got pulled over and escorted back for an inspection. Luckily, I did not get a ticket or any violations. So, I assumed it would be suspicious if I started getting inspected several times per year but Safety Dept either isn't paying attention or doesn't care, considering the previous comment.

Although I am tempted, now that the inspection bonus is so high, I think it is unethical to do this. Of course, it can be easy to rationalize. For instance, I work for a salary and despite a couple raises, I now actually earn less per mile or hour than I did when I started at this company. This seems like a good point for debate or conversation. Thanks to anyone who wants to contribute or help us clarify the issue of company "fines".
