Hard to get any information without having to call them. Under the circumstance; I tend to agree with the Breeze
Better to be a wanted fugitive and take my chances. However, I did find the below on a search. So officially; I have not run from the Oklahoma State Police!!! I do feel better; although I still may have broken some Oklahoma law that I did not know. Like I said I have passed that Ark / Oklahoma border 100 times and never gave that weigh station a thought until that sudden surprise flash of the light. I don't think I could have safely made that exit anyway?
Oklahoma weigh stations are NOT run by Oklahoma DOT or the state police. They used to be run by the tax commission- which may have be more appropriate than any other government agency. They are currently run by the Oklahoma Corporation Commission. Officers at the weigh stations are able to perform both paperwork and vehicle inspections. If you are called into an Oklahoma weigh station, be prepared to provide a copy of your lease contract if you are leased to a carrier in addition to your IRP registration, IFTA etc. The Oklahoma Department of Public Safety is in charge of roadside truck inspections and they rarely set up at the actual weigh stations. They tend to perform inspections on the shoulder or set up in a check station/pullout area.
