weight police?

I've never been pulled over and don't know anyone who has, but in Missouri you can be pulled over and ticketed if you weigh more than you are licensed for. If you have a 12,000 lb. license plate and weigh more than that you get get a ticket for not being properly licensed for the total weight.

Not pulling our 5er, but the CHP have in the past required all firewood loaded pickup trucks to pull into the truck scale area to be weighed and our tire ratings were checked.

Not reported on here, that I recall.

State police can pull you over if it looks unsafe they can issue a ticket or make you stay off the road tillit is proper

Only in BC Canada. There is no laws in the US against stupidity.
