Overweight

[Gregory OConnor]

Larry, In California the CHP have special teams set up for trucks and
scales. I don't know how Missouri highway patrol does commercial
enforcement but In 1985 on my moving trip from NewJersey to
California,I was pulled over by a Missouri disgruntled police officer.

"is it Missour(AH) or Missour(EE)."

I passed a Missouri DOT scale with a oneton ford pickup. Less than
one mile later I was pulled over . During my conversation with the
trooper he corrected my annunciation and proclaimed "it's Missour
(ah) son, not Missour(EE)!!, Where ya from that they talk like that?"
He then wrote me a ticket when I said "New Jers(AH)". Prick

get a disgruntled police officer that is new to the job and takes the
signage litterally and then stops you because he thinks you avoided
going over the scales and issues you a ticket, which you apparently
can get squashed, then you have to take the time to do this... As I
see it, it is easier to go over the scales then to take chances that
you may be stopped... If enough people do this then they will have to
change the signage to the appropriate wording...
