Can you imagine writing seat belt violations as a job? I'd have to take all the mirrors outta the house.


When they enacted the seatbelt law here I was in law enforcement. By far, most of the cops I talked to were against it as well as I was. First, "Mama Laws" are ridiculous. If you are an adult, you should be able to make decisions for yourself. Especially if they concern your own well being and are not going to harm anyone else.

Minors should be subject to protective laws. For obvious reasons.

I, for one had no problem with stupid people joining the Darwin crowd because of their own stupidity. We are all better off when that happens.

A lot of the cops were against the seatbelt law because they could not lean over to create a smaller profile if being fired upon in the patrol vehicle, and some felt when they needed to hit the ground running from the patrol car, the seatbelt slowed them down.
