I believe I have an answer; at least for those of us in north Missisippi:
They turn the scale signs "OPEN". That way word will get around that the scales are OPEN.
But they're not open. They want the bad guys to take the back roads around the scale - and that's where they are waiting.
It works, too..........friend of mine landed a whopping 1100$ fine because he was WAAAAAY overweight and went around the "OPEN" scale.
