It is done all the time by State Highway people checking the tractor trailers to see if they are running red dyed (off road) fuel. I heard recently that they had a sniffer system here in WV where they only had to sniff the exhaust as a tractor passed by to determine if they were running off road fuel. They then radio ahead to a second check point to have that vehicle stopped. $10,000 Fine???Richard

If it is not a commercial vehicle I do not see how a search could be done on an individauals proprty like that. And I am a crime fighter myself! Last time I looked State statute can not supercede federal law. Reasonable suspition and unreasonible searches. I do believe I would have a problem with that if it were me.$10,000. eh? Hope they take a check Green Hornet
Actually Jerry one has. Oregon has new system they are looking at where your tax is based on the number of miles you drive, they want every car outfitted with a gps transceiver so they can just send you a bill. Ah the gov is always looking out for us.....
Loose the bumper sticker, and refuel with the garage door closed.
