I know the admins of Trucknet are none too happy with it either.

Just out of curiousity... How can he report anyone from the forums? He needs a name to do that. Not just a screen name. For example, WindWalker could be anyone. Young, old, blonde hair, grey or white hair, full beard and mustache, pony-tail half way down my back, or a Kojak hair-do. He can't turn anyone in that way. Not enough to go on. But... In putting together a case for Federal Court arguements, he can get facts in general. He would be able to say that "drivers do this, and drivers do that." He can use that to embellish his arguements in a court of law. he could also use it if he were to represent a 4-wheeler in a case against an 18-wheeler. I don't think he's turning anyone in, but he's instigating a discussion so that he gets information that can be used against drivers of CMVs.
If he's been riding in trucks, and been around trucks, pin him down. Ask him specific questions about particular aspects of a truck. Something that he would have to have been in one to know about. Like, on the old Macks. Which shifting lever did what. Something that he would have to have been IN a truck to know. While we're trying to answer questions for each other, he can use any information he wants against the industry.
I've talked to State Police, Motor Carrier Enforcement, scale masters, and they are required to enforce the laws as written, but tend to be on our side. I don't know whose side this guy is on, but it's not ours.
