The only time I have seen non truck drivers stopped for inspections, was after a local tree trimming company had a chipper come off the back of a dump truck, resulting in a fatality.
The local PD started to pull over any and all trailers being towed, to insure that the loads were properly secured. Put a lot of fear in some home owners returning from the home improvement store with their 4x8 trailer behind the mini-van. A few RVers/boaters were caught up in the action.
Mostly they just gave constructive advise on chains, lights, securing load, etc... I am sure a few were critized for being obviously overloaded, but I did not hear a single report of "scales" being deployed.
