Ohio weigh station employees are not officers I was overweight and detained for 1hr 10mins until trooper showed up to give ticket is this legal?

by Mark Becraft

Ohio weigh stations are manned by civilian employees not law enforcement officers. I Entered/stopped on scales and I was overweight and I was told to pull in.


Employee took my licenses/registration/insurance and I was told to wait for a state trooper to arrive to write me a citation and it took the trooper 1hr 10mins to arrive.

Is this legal. I feel my civil rights have been violated due to being detained for an unreasonable amount of time by a non law enforcement officer.

Citizens arrest heard of it?
Besides that employee is given right to detain according to law.

call a lawyer you will have no case.
