Three Cops Pick On OVERSIZE LOAD!

[@bobshat1104]

most cops are out to make revenue not to protect and serve

[@Willow_Thorn7]

@Mike Shoesmith. My husband is a Government contractor who works on a military base. He used to drive the Military semi trucks. One day some cocky arrogant cop pulled them over, I believe coming out of either Las Vegas or California. This cop decided that he wanted to see the log books, hubby tells him there are no log books and if there were he can't see them because the truck is hauling military property and tells the cop to look at the identification numbers on the truck.( log books were not required to be shown for military and United States Government semis due to top secret status) The cop starts getting all puffed up and demands to see my hubby's license, hubby gives it to him along with his military contractors badges. Its at this point the chase vehicle driver gets out of the MILITARY truck that is pulled up behind the cop car as are the 8 other Military vehicles including 3 other semis. The cop yells at the chase truck driver to stop where he is. The guy keeps coming due to him being in charge of all the vehicles and what is being hauled in them. Cop yells at him again to stop. The cop then yells my hubby to get out of the truck. My 6'3" husband climbs down from the truck and the cop gets in his face and tells him " I want to see whats being hauled in this truck right now! " and proceeds to push my hubby to the back of the trailer. Hubby walks to the back, the trailer is locked up nearly as tight as Fort Knox, and tells the cop that he cannot open the trailer. The cop gets pissed and pushes my hubby up against the trailer and grabs his cuffs and cuffs him. At this point the military personnel and the man in charge walks up behind the cop and taps him on the shoulder. The cop nearly shits himself when he sees all these military guys. He grabs his radio and calls for all available back-up. The man in charge tries to tell the cop that he has absolutely no jurisdiction to pull over a military vehicle and demand for it to be opened so he can see what is in it. The cop keeps getting more and more pissed and refuses to listen, while all the time my hubby is locked in cuffs. After several other officers show up and nearly an hour has passed the cheif of police shows up. He talks to the military man in charge for about 10 minutes then walks over to my husband takes the cuffs off of him and apologies and shakes my husband's hand. He then walks over to the arrogant cop and tells him to get in his car, head back to the station and wait in his office. So...... Regular police officers do not have the authority to search any U.S Military vehicle. About a month afterwards my husband received a letter from the Air Force Base Commander stating that they received a written apology from the Cheif of police and stating that the police officer was reprimanded and put on a 2 week suspension.

It's always easier for them to bully a law abiding soft target, than to actually do real police work and catch hardened criminals that might kick their arses.

[@markbirchette8740]

The Peace Officer who's motto WAS to Protect and Serve were gone many moons ago. They are revenue collector's and bullies. They took the same OATH I did as an Army Soldier. Difference is some of us actually care about that Oath and will to our last ragged breath.

Bro....he's not being friendly! He's looking for a reason to bust you or charge you with something....

[@zichragland8880]

Back in the early 60's my dad drove a truck. I remember him telling me this story one time about when he was hauling watermelons from Florida up to a northern state. At the weigh stations he said the guys were always wanting a little fruit off the trucks for themselves and using their position to get it. He said one day as he sat on the scales, they guy came out and told him he was two watermelons over weight. He said he got up on top of his open trailer, grabbed two watermelons, one at a time and threw them down on the payment and bursted them and got in his truck and drove off.

[@JesseBevil]

It's a shame that for no other reason than you having an over sized load were you pulled over. They suspected you might be off route but didn't know what the route was in advance. That's like stopping someone for driving a vehicle because they might not have a drivers license. Not going to debate the legality of it, but glad everything was good to go in your case.

[@scottodonahoe4723]

It's Illinois for gods sake . I drive with my bass boat through that state 5 times a year and with out of state plates get pulled over almost every time Any vehicle with a trailer has a 55 mph speed limit and I have gotten 3 tickets for 56 , 57 and 56 . The state is broke and an out of state plate is just gravy because they know you won't come back and fight it .

[@marzinjedi6437]

Quit targeting our hard working freight hauling People!!!!!

[@amb3cog]

I think the issue is that hard working people try to take shortcuts, or they wouldn't bother looking in the first place. Because let's face it. If everyone did what this guy did. Why would they carry around portable scales to catch people off route?They were obviously only looking for a person going "off route" right? So if everyone followed the correct route anyway. Why would they bother? They wouldn't of course. But unfortunately there's always people who try to sneak one by. And this is the result of that. So before you blame law enforcement for trying to enforce the law. Maybe you should think about your fellow drivers who spend their time trying to "outsmart" those LEO in the first place. I'm not a big fan of LEO, but that being said. Human nature is what creates those jobs in the first place. I'm a completely law/rule abiding person. Not because I respect, or believe they're all right. But just because it's the easy way to go through life. It's not worth the hassle, or the argument to me. I'm too old. If that's how you want it done. Fine. No problem. It's done. Why bother to argue? It's just a hassle. Unless the law/rule is unjust. Then that's a different story. But if they say take this road. I'm taking that road. It's no skin off my back. I'm still making money. But there's always that guy that wants to save a few miles, and creates problems for everyone else in the world. That's why these guys are checking, and that's why they backed right off. So IMO in this case, and only this case. You're not being fair blaming LE for doing their job. They didn't start this fire. Truck drivers who don't follow the rules did. Otherwise they wouldn't even be there in the first place. This is quite obvious to me by how quickly they backed down. They were looking for someone trying to go off route obviously. And if that never happened. They wouldn't bother to anymore. It's that simple. Not rocket science!

[@tamarpassley8775]

When i get stopped i would love to tell them to have a look at our roads , which are disgraceful and why aren't the roads good ? oh right, it costs too much , but in my case i HAVE to repair and pay no matter what. BS!

[@donaldmiller8629]

This trucker is very generous when he says the cop is just doing his job. The cop's job is to generate as much revenue as he can every day !

[@interestedparty00]

What was their reason to believe that you didn't have a permit for that road??! It seems obvious that it was an illegal fishing expedition.

Good instructional video. Not blaming the cops, but the State of Illinois is essentially making its traffic officers revenue agents for its disastrous economy.

Welcome to sugar grove Illinois. Used to live there. It was also one of the worst speed traps out there. SG is a hard to deal with community. They think they are a Naperville IL. (very upscale and nice community) They spend money like it too. They did wrong things at wrong time just before housing crash and never recovered. So they need to get $$ like this. Also high fees all over the place. Sad our government got this way. I love your positive attitude! Thanks for posting. Oh by the way, I left Illinois because of stuff like this.

[@nimarus3118]

Nice to see a trucker following the rules. My local power company contracted a company to build them a new access road near my home. The trucks the company used for hauling gravel where loaded far over the limit. Our road started forming cracks and other areas broke away (the road runs along a hillside). A drain pipe was also crushed under the road, which caused water to pool under the road and cause the ground to slide downhill. My father, who worked for the Department of Highways for over 30 years knew exactly what was happening. The trucks showed up overflowing with rock and weights and measures was waiting for them. Every single truck that came by got a ticket. Not only did the company get tickets for every truck, but the actual drivers where ticketed as well. It's my understanding that if the weight is excessively exceeded, the driver is also ticketed because they obviously must have known. This was a group of drivers who where use to destroying roads they went over and the locals not knowing how to stop them. Turns out that the company (or maybe it was the electric company who contracted the construction crew) had a $750,000 bond with the DOH. If they damaged the road, they had to pay for repairs or lose the bond. Additionally, if the bond was revoked, the company couldn't have any of their work vehicles on any State-owned road. Needless to say, the truckers found a different route to the road they where building and they paid for a brand new road. Treat others with some dignity and you'll get it in return. Otherwise, well, Karma is a bitch.

[@ericwsmith7722]

My only concern is what did they really think you were doing wrong to pull you over in the first place ? Before you state what you think is the obvious , I did watch the video, But exactly how did the cop suspect you did not have a permit or were off route ? The point is cops are NOT allowed to pull anyone over on "fishing trips " that is a federal ruling , and if you all remember from 6th grade social studies federal law supersedes local and state laws, What those cops did was 100% against the law, So we have is a group of people conspiring to break the law, in order to collect money, No one needs a law degree to know what that is.

[@joesmith-rk8xo]

[@jjgodfrey209]

[@JohnNelson-ft2vd]

eric wsmith they get sued on as daily basis

[@ericwsmith7722]

Joe smith and Jj Godfrey , No they cant. I know the police don't agree with that, but driving a truck does not negate your constitutional rights or supreme court rulings... You will not find ONE legal ruling, opinion or law that supports your misguided statements.... They used to pull blacks and Latinos over for no reason. The courts put a legal stop t that, but it took public opinion to just slow the practice down, But as we can see the cops still regularly break the law,,,, with help from uninformed sheep like you two.

[@donaldfafard]

I've been screaming the same thing eric. unless you've broken a traffic law they have no probable cause to pull you over and then phish for something. if there was a broken tail light that's a whole different story but they need probable cause to "detain" you which is what pulling you over legally is.

Hi Mike, This video is an interesting lesson in sticking to the rules and you should be OK. I was a Continental Coach Tour driver taking folk on holiday over to Europe from the UK. If ever a coach is pulled over in France you can GUARANTEE it will be a British coach and NEVER another mainland European one. They have a system that a fixed penalty is applied there and then and it is up to you to contend and appeal. So eventually many of us, a HUGE percentage of us refused to take coaches over to Europe. OK we don't make the bonuses etc but then we don't keep getting pulled and ticketed in countries were they don't speak English. Have a good day and safe journeying.

[@OldMan_PJ]

One of the problems with Northern Illinois are all of the lakes results in a lot of road bridges that gives all the little townships a revenue source. I work at one of the companies that mills parts for CAT and hear all the time from the older truck drivers about all the crazy routes they have to take to either stay legal or avoid the traps. Adding to the problem are companies that hire truck drivers to pick up a load that is over the weight limit for the area and expect the driver to deal with the issue.

[@Stubbee]

Interesting. You don't sound perturbed that they pulled you over without cause. I would think that they would need a reason to suspect you don't have a permit. If you broke a traffic law or were not displaying the proper signage and they pull you over that is one thing; but to demand you prove you have a permit without a reason to stop you in the first place...

are there different rules for pulling over a tractor trailer? I never heard the cop say why he pulled you over. Are they allowed to just pull over a truck because they want to check their paperwork? I thought thats what the DOT stations do, not local or state police...

[@bulawb.9114]

according to the supreme court a few years ago,you cannot be stopped to be checked out without you committing some kind of violation.

[@franknitti8606]

They can pull you over anytime and give you a inspection,Kansas is always pulling trucks over and giving level 3 inspections on side of road

[@crazypete3759]

I guess thats just something you have to be prepared to deal with being a trucker, driving trough some states.... It would be nice if they could issue temporary placards to display on the trailer to avoid wasting the truckers time and letting the cops focus on catching some real criminals instead of going fishing over and over...

[@ad1vet783]

That's incorrect. CMV's can be stopped for CVSA inspections, Hazmat inspections, size & weight checks, oversized load permit checks, as well as violations of the law.

Guaranteed you would've never made it out of there safely if that was an oversized load of donuts you were hauling instead.

[@shoechew]

He stopped you because someone else was off their route? How is that your fault?

[@LilGamingYes]

During my heavy equipment operator class we had to drive a Grader from point A to B through city streets. We were pulled over and the cops started to measure the width, we were 10cm too large. They fill the whole ticket, all they’re missing is the company we work for (written all over the trucks and Grader), when we tell them it’s from the school they stared at us for a good 30 seconds, rip the ticket in half and said “government can’t ticket itself” then left. This took about 30minutes in total, considering the city I was in only had 2 cop cars in service at all times this was a huge waste of time.

[@thedonleroy]

That happened to me last fall while I was hauling a load of beans to the elevator from the field. Now the fields were soft so we were only filling the trucks, which are triple axle single unit trucks about 2/3 full. I saw 1 trooper go by as I pulled out on the gravel road about a 1/4 mile from the state highway. As I came to the intersection to turn on to the highway & go to the elevator 3 miles away another trooper went by. Sure enough when I came into town there was a trooper waving me down. As soon as I stopped the other car came & pulled up right behind me. The trooper climbed up on my step & said that they were going to check my weight. I told him that since the fields were so wet I was only 2/3 full so I could get out of the field. He reached up & banged on the side of the metal box & then told me I could go on my way. He never asked to see my licence or any papers on the truck. It was plain that they were only interested in getting the overweight fines. I heard that they nailed several trucks before & after me.

They would eventually have to stop for lack of income. Especially with everyone having cameras nowadays to protect them. But instead everyone tries to get over, and perpetuates the problem.

Unfortunately they can just pull over commercial vehicles to do an inspection, just like they can pull whatever truck they want in behind a weigh station to inspect it. Every year, I think it's in spring, there is a 72 hour period where they pull trucks over left and right to inspect, so far I haven't been pulled over but they always have signs at work warning us when it is.

[@aussiebloke609]

Could be worse. A few years ago in PA a driver with a lowboy and some kind of really heavy construction equipment on it was sticking to his route, which required that he drive along Big Oak Rd...which has a really low weight limit on it. Well, the truck got stuck - the blacktop couldn't take the weight, so it tore up and wrapped around his tyres like 6 inch thick retreads, and the rig just ground to a stop. They tried to ream him for months for the damage - all the while ignoring that his permit said he _had_ to take that road. (As far as I know, they didn't do anything to the guy that set up his route either...or it somehow didn't make it into the local papers. Funny how that works.) That driver wasn't willing to go off-route either, and I'm sure he would have been screwed even worse if he'd actually gone a different way. But still...even following your permit route, sometimes you're damned both ways, I guess.

I didn't change lanes in the intersection. I was all the way through. I knew it and the cop knew it.

[@MotoAtheist]

The intersections I saw all had dashed lines up to the intersection, which means you can still change lanes. Only when the white lines are solid you can't cross them, which you more often see in busy downtown and busy city street situations. The solid lines will extend 150 feet on both sides of the intersection.

Caterpillar had a choice to make as far as which plant to keep open to make their payloaders and compactors. They chose to close this one. The surrounding villages make it difficult to get Caterpillar's product to and from the plant. I find it hard to believe the logistics of their location and the fact that heavy haulers are not permitted to use the road that goes directly to and from I-88 wasn't a key part of their decision.
