Not quite finding any specific laws or the details of the ticket from this story...

The only legal violation that comes to mind would be wreckless driving, but that's kind of a catch-all, and there would have to be a reason to pull the vehicle over to start with. I can't find anything specific in Michigan or California's motor vehicle codes that references the OEM GVWR. (and I know many others much smarter than I have searched and come up blank before)
That being said, if nothing goes wrong, most officers will not likely have a reason to stop the rig. However, when the fecal material hits the rotary-oscillator, it's a HUGE liability on the part of the operator, and it's not a liability a company like Can-Am or Andy himself is going to assume. Heck, if Ford Motor Company won't stand behind a consumer who hauls more than the intended design, what makes anybody think CanAm would assume any liability at all??
