I wonder just how heavy this roller is and if it could be doing damage that is not very visible. Would you pull it across your concrete driveway?

As far as it being legal or illegal goes, there probably is some law that would cover pulling a heavy object on a paved public road. Probably if you asked a law enforcement officer about it, they could fairly quickly tell you what the law is and what the penalty would be for doing it. But I would not suggest asking a cop about it or telling him that you plan to do it.

It is unlikely that you would get caught travelling a couple of miles, especially if you make the move early in the morning, when there is not much of any traffic. But you will have to use those roads later and you don't want to damage them. Let your conscience be your guide.....

Maybe the suggestion of calling in a false report to reduce the chance of a cop seeing you was a joke. But unless you are really remote, I would guess that your law enforcement agency would have the capability of finding out very quickly where a phone call originated. And that would almost insure that you would get a visit from a couple of police cars, probably about the time you are pulling the roller home. In my area, if 911 is called by mistake and the caller hangs up right away, it is treated as a true emergency and officers respond, often running code!

Good luck, I hope you make a decision that works out well for you.
