this has been talked to death but nothing ever done about it.
we all know when a state DOT officer does an inspection they will give you violations and call them warnings without a state citation. They know that the points go on CSA and you have no way to take them to court to contest the violation
this needs to end. i’m actively looking for a lawyer to take this to federal court and finally get the avenue to end this violation of due process.
i’ve heard the story that a driver did get in front of a federal judge and get the csa violations removed however no one knows who and where.
anyone wanting to join in please send me a message.

DataQ

Good luck finding an attorney interested in taking that case.

As for the case, it's already been to federal court and lost.TheLoadOut, Flat Earth Trucker, Bean Jr. and 2 others Thank this. -
Data Q goes to the top of the chain. Big bosses hand it down the chain to the local chief, then the officer's supervisor, then finally the officer.
If the officer is issuing bad citations or bad violations on inspections, his superiors will know about it. It will be obvious to everyone in the chain. If the officer persists in doing this he faces reprimand, etc.
The officer must support any violation or citation with proper documentation - photographs, video, copies of documents, etc. If the violation is not clearly supported by documentation and is not a clear violation of regulation, the violation will be removed.brian991219, Oxbow, Bean Jr. and 7 others Thank this. -
I’ve done 2 dataQ’s. Won the first, lost the second.

Managed to bat .500
Hardest was an overweight where the operator 'escaped' with the door signs and I had to find the actual carrier before the deputy would remove the information. Local manager managed to find the SCAC but that wasn't enough for him so I had to get the group that issues the SCAC to tell me the carrier's info.
Easiest was asking the NY troopers to remove an accident because a wild turkey committing suicide on our windshield was not a DOT recordable accident.
As mentioned above, the Data Q comes down the chain of command to the issuing officer and it you are right, it will be corrected.JoeyJunk Thanks this. -
