Idling laws, who they apply to/what to come fo the

The post below about hauling interstate hay and myself having a cdl but not on the road that much got me thinking. Also the new landline magazine which I read this weekend got me thinking. According to Landline, you are allowed 15 min or 25 min per hour if less then 32 degrees Fahrenheit. Exceptions traffic conditions, perform needed work or a natural g as electric vehicles. then you go to say Connecticut 3 minutes period. not less then 500 dollar fine. Some states such as New York 5 min not less then 375 dollars, not more then 15,000 first offense. That?s a big span and a lot of quick money. Washington dc first time 500 bucks first offense and doubles for each subsequent violation. 3 Minutes or 5 if below 32 degrees, not much. What do you make of all these new laws? Really worried about pollution or a quick buck for the government? Will they really be enforced? Seems like it could turn into a huge problem troopers sitting at truck stops 6 minutes roles around and slaps you with a 500 dollar fine in Washington D.C. The thing the really gets me is Minnesota inside the City of Minneapolis you are allowed zero idling minutes in residential areas between 10pm and 6am including reefers. Is that there way from keeping all semis from coming home? I know of a shop in Minneapolis that is near housing what if he has a truck in there he?s working on w/a reefer trailer? Also the magazine doesnt state that these laws are semi restricted so do they apply to you warming your car up in the morning?
