Anything can happen with DOT but that don't make it right. Read this one:
My son went to Co. to pick up a 14ft bass boat his Grandfather gave him using his AZ, Ranger pick-up. He's comes past the scales at Cortez, Co and heads south to the Four Corners. Just as he gets to Four corners about 70miles away, he gets pulled over by DOT;
DOT says "Why didn't you scale at Cortez?
Son says "I was unware that trailers under 10,000lbs had to scale. Is this a spot check or something?"
DOT says "No, we help Game and Fish out and find most motor homes have over there limit in game. We noticed in the camera your AZ truck plate and the CO boat plate. You need to return to the Cortez scales, wheres your license"
Son hands his "CDL" license to the DOT officer.
About 10 minutes latter DOT officer comes back really pissed. My son is Federal Marshall and every time he gets stopped or questioned, his supervisor has to be notified. Read this as 4 hrs of paper work for the DOT officer
He "let him go" for being a fellow officer but got a chewing out for failing to indenifiy himself.

Buy UNION work UNION. It pays off in the long run Define Union: A labor Union is nothing more than united workers with a common goal for better working conditions.
We all are in some sort of labor Union, some are just larger than others with better working conditions!

I'm an Agent and I don't always identify myself unless I'm carrying. I have found in the past that some "officers" are vindictive to "agents" when they find out who we are. Your classic movie scenario like when FBI takes over a local crime scene.
I am a Supervisor but we don't have to be notified in our office unless an arrest is made.

Dave, wouldn't that depend on what assignment he was on at the time. And no, I have no idea what he was doing at work.

Yes it would, but I was assuming that he was "off-duty" at the time (as if we are ever off-duty).
That contact with the local officer is definitely something that needs to be documented regardless of the outcome, based on the "ass-chewing" that he received.
I'll tell you what I did Iwas turned onto this website by an X trooper in oklahoma I bought into it $36 a month for the service. I can call an attourney anytime of the day or night if and when I get pulled over. I got nailed for a stupid one also so I was talking to him to find out if the ticket was legit or the guy was just in a bad mood. I have been pulled over in the past and deserved the ticket (speeding) but they kept the points off my record so my insurance didn't go up.
