I guess you can count me in the weight police camp but it has nothing to do with being pulled over and getting a ticket. Any fine from being over weight for the TV is peanuts compared to the dollar amount from a civil suit. You may not even get a ticket but if you are involved in a wreck and sued; juries decide civil cases on emotion. I can guarantee that if you are overweight the plaintiffs lawyer will find out and will stress that fact over and over to the jury. You will be painted as reckless and a danger to the public and probably a threat the American way of life. If there are injuries, especially to children you will probably lose. The civil suit lawyers are experts at playing on a juries emotions.
