grey'eagle,
You are exactly correct. Thank you for pointing that out. Over weight could be deemed as "careless and reckless operation." My thoughts on that part of the equation are that an officer other than one that normally enforces weights would have to be digging for a charge to even consider that and weight enforcement officers normally do not fool with RV's in this state unless they too are digging for a charge as waddcutter said about drugs and smuggling.
Anything IS possible. I didn't come from the same experience as waddcutter, he has waaaaaay more experience in his specialty than I. My experience is local law enforcement. As a staff officer, I would have put a stop quickly to officers under my command checking the weights of RV's unless they were in the traffic division and the drivers were operating carelessly and recklessly OR we were looking for drugs. It would have to be gross. It's just a waste of time. We have too many people robbing and killing each other or poisoning our youth with drugs to worry about spending the time to check the weight of a RV. That's my opinion.
Anything is possible but in the real world it just doesn't happen here. Again, that's not to say that a young officer full of himself might not do it but, his supervisor will see that immediately and put a stop to it. It's not what we do.
After I posted this I did have a thought about weight. If rigs keep getting bigger it won't be long until they DO weigh too much.
