First off, I'm in MY tractor trailer, second off, it's registered to North Carolina, and third off.. I was the only one in the truck anyways.. $177.00 Ticket, for "Smoking in the work place" was my final result.

I want to see proof that your story is true.

Make a copy of the ticket, white out any personally identifying information, and post a copy of the ticket here.

I want to see that a chippie actually wrote you up for smoking in the work place.

Until that time, I call BS on your story.

Frosty: I had a cop also write me up for not having a front license plate. I didn't like it, but oh well. FWIW I didn't think that you were whining about getting the ticket, I think that you were upset with the officer's attitude. She should have written the ticket and let it go at that.

Also, just so that you know. The California Vehicle Code applies to all of California. So Vehicle Code Sec. 5200 would apply to ALL of California, not just to your particular locality.

Mespe: California law applies the moment you cross state line, regardless of what state your car is registered to. The law of the jurisdiction applies. So assuming that nik's story is true (and I am still calling BS on it until I see evidence to the contrary) the fact that his truck is licensed in NC would not prevent him from getting a ticket for violating California law.
