Default Re: State Police checks

Albert, I can't speak on behalf of PA Law Enforcement but the whole thing sounds a little goofy to me. Sounds like the trooper might have been on a "fishing expedition" especially due to the fact that he did not demand to see your drivers license or vehicle documents. You need probable cause (that a crime has, is or will be committed) or reasonable suspicion to initiate a stop.

Doesn't sound to me like there was either but like I said maybe they do things different there... I don't know how you would be overweight. That usually only applies to commercial trucks or a pick up that is extremely loaded down which I know you wouldn't be.. But then again I am not too familiar with commercial vehicle laws...
