Towing In North Carolina

Does anyone know about towing car trailers through NC? I got pulled over today on the way to the Charlotte race track by a state trooper. He told me that I have to go over the scales and anything over 10K in gross vehicle weight has to do so. I had never heard of this as I am not commercial. No lettering on my truck or trailer. This cop was an a- hole too. I have to wonder if this applies to personal vehicles and was this guy just being a jerk. Detained me for about an hour, and wrote me a warning ticket. In the 35+ years that I've been towing car trailers, this has never happened anywhere in the country. Ruined my day! I would like to know what NC law states??

Any help appreciated.
