A little info about an overweight ticket one of my trucks got: a truck was pulling 80 barrels of heavy water down a 6ton/per axle road. This made it overweight. So trooper pulled over truck, weighed it and offered these options: option 1) pay $2700 in cash, check, credit card, com check and forfeit any due process of law. Option 2) pay $2700 in cash, US currency, franklin or Lincoln or whatever president you like, but only cash - in 15 minutes. Option 3) impound truck, $4000 tow bill, driver goes to jail for a citation - not a misdemeanor.
I've heard of this racket and had ready cash. I blazed there and paid the bond. Seems the officer said the supportive stop was his suspicion to overweight due to "bulging tires" this on a trailer that had mobile contents, and on tires made to not bulge at much higher weights. So my lawyer/brother was ready to try the case. He hates dishonest cops and was looking forward to asking the cop about his observations, and then testing them against tire manufacturer guys said. Well, the prosecutor folded, refunded my money. But the cops lies weren't exposed so they'll still be running their scam
