weight police?
Anyone ever get pulled over for too heavy a load? What was the outcome?

There are no rules governing over-weight, non-commercial trailers that I'm aware of. But in a wreck with a death, for example, the owner of an over-weight trailer could be held liable for the damages in a civil court.
Not looking for over-weight but in Calif CHP has pulled over toy haulers to check the driver's licence status (which is unconstitutional BTW) for the weight being towed. In Cali, if your trailer's GVWR is more than 15,000 pounds you must have a non-commercial Class A driver's license, which is what CHP is looking for. Same if your motorhome is longer than 40 feet.
