Anybody remember how they sold the seatbelt laws when they first put them in?

Oh, it's just a safety thing - we'd never stop anybody for not wearing one. It will be a secondary violation. It's only for the front seat.

But like all Government programs it grew - now they're running roadblocks and racking up major money.

my car beeps like a mutherfucker if I don't wear it.

It's been clear that it's about the money for a while and the repeal of the motorcycle helmet law kills any safety argument.

Too many people are dying waiting for organ transplants.

Saw one of these set-up on Alpine in GR on Monday. 1 cop standing on the side of the road checking cars driving by, and 1/2 mile down the road were 3 or 4 cruisers waiting to pull over the cars identified by the spotter.

Here is a list of locations by county of where these enforcment zones will be set-up. (Except for Kent County which fails to list actual locations, instead putting "county wide" or "city wide" as the location.)

If motorcycles don't need helmets, I don't need a seat belt. Or at least I shouldn't be able to be pulled over for "appearing" not to have one on. The seat belt law gives too much power to the police....just another reason to pull you over.

I went to school with a guy from Denmark that got two seat belt violation tickets in the same day. Cool story bro.

Yeah, because they made the decision to be doing this.................

how do you silence that voice in your head that says "think"?

A true law-enforcement agent would put our freedom first. That makes sense. But they all rob our freedoms so they can stay on welfare. I like your logic.

My passenger seats beeps like hell if my dog is on it or if I have too many bags on it. Very annoying.

Yeah my dog is 55 lbs and sets it off. I think my car must be around 30 lbs based on the bags that set it off. It doesn't last too long so I guess it's not too bad.
