No Overnight Parking at Interstate Rest Areas

I know a number of states do not allow overnight parking at the state-run rest areas along the interstates. Has anyone been asked to leave one of these locations during the night? We've stayed in them a number of times, and we've never had anyone ask us to move. But maybe we've just been lucky? How about you?

Many also state, no overnight camping, max limit is 8 hours.....

It seems to me, if you can get a reasonable amount of sleep in that 8 hours or so, you are in good shape.

I like Wyoming's approach. Their website used to say (and may still) something to the effect:
"Overnighting is permitted; we'd rather you sleep at our rest stops than take back to the road if you are too tired to drive. Safety First.".

If they say "No Overnight Camping" I wouldn't stay to find out. Some states allow it and I don't know anyone that has been asked to leave.
