There are lots of different cops,and in different states they do things that are strange in other places.For the most part they leave farmers alone.I never saw a tractor and manure spreader on portable scales,but I guess the DOT has authority to weigh what they want to.Cops range from good to insane,so thats more likely whats wrong.Maybe a guy with a tractor and munure spreader ran off with the cops wife?I dont know what school some cops go to,but just because they give them a badge and gun,does not excuse them to just be ridiculous to the public.Seems to be a lot of those"power trip"cops today.Most usually they are just doing what some official tells them to do,and these officials are on a power trip as bad as the cops.I have to say the ones that are in a scale house sometimes are going to get money out of you any way they can.Scales generate revenue.They must get part of the fine money or something to weigh a farm tractor.With that kind of stuff going on its most likely going to get worse.DOT chasing farm equipment,he must be hungry.Maybe if the farmers pass the hat around and give him a couple of dollars he will leave them alone?
