Only time I was ever caught was in AZ over old Utah hill that runs parallel to I-15 in AZ many moons ago. Cost me a day in the scales just to skip buying the temp while waiting for AZ's card...lol

The fine for runnin a Cali scale is ~$400 + any other things they wanna bend you over for because you pissed them off. Moral of the story... don't run a scale
