Regarding the trucks, they don't have to stop at every county. As far as I know, they are checked randomly at check posts at every state, similar to your border crossing checkpoints. In my opinion, they are not doing enough checks. Recently, in my state, they have increased checks on trucks bringing sea food and caught lot of them with harmful additives in them.

>Large quantities of adulterated fish have been seized from many border check-posts in the past month.

While you guys are worried about small quantities of lead or micro plastics or dying or mislabeling of fish, we have to worry about really harmful stuff in them.

Strangely, YouTube recommended me this video yesterday (California teacher refuses to answer question at checkpoint, detained: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LAASgPU1BQc). Thankfully, we haven't reached this level in India yet. If anything, my complaint is we don't have enough checks. We should have 1000 times more checks in India on everything. If we have the kind of policing and other regulations you have in USA, India would become a paradise.

Why would a truck need to be checked multiple times for the exact same thing and pay for it to happen? What makes stopping at each state unique and valuable to Indian society when it had stopped before?

The problem isn't that they are being checked, its obviously the fact theyd have to stop at each state to pay a tax or do the exact same regulatory oversight multipl times... instead of just flashing some paperwork from a prior check? Ideally at beginning or end points?
