Day two of our "click it- or ticket" campaign, i normally don't write tickets during it.
But, if you are dumb enough to not pay attention to the big flashing signs that say CLICK IT OR TICKET and you get cited, maybe you should guess that they will likely be watching for seatbelts on that stretch of road the next day as well. If he hadn't told me he got cited yesterday for the same thing, he would have just gotten a warning today too

Protecting us unwashed masses from ourselves. And we actually pay taxes for such nonsense. I wonder how much training is required to generate revenue from people who don't wear, or forget to wear a seatbelt.
Well at least it keeps all the rest of us safe from those dangerous criminals who won't wear a seatbelt. (Though I've never figured out exactly how that works.)

How mugh do you think medical expenses from injuries do to not wearing a seatbelt cost Taxpayers as well as affect your insurance premiums? P.S, you're welcome. And yes. It was overtime for me

To a white guy? To a working stiff? Was he Dimocrap? Meaner.  Aren't seat belts unconstitutional?

Actually out of 17 stops in 6 hours he was the only one who I cited, you pretty much have to talk your way into a ticket with me.

As much as I agree seat belts save lives I view wearing one as a First Ammendment type of issue. If I don't want to why should gooberment have the right to make me. Fuggem

This rationalization is the most slippery slope of all and its logical conclusion is socialism. Not intended to pick on you gitem, but there it is.

I've been using seat belts since I was 16. I found it a bigger PITA while taxing in planes (as a flight engineer) than any time in a car/truck.

Thirty-one miles on a two lane blacktop today...three State Troopers, a Deputy, two city cops. Only saw one driver who had been pulled over.

Taxpayer's expense?
Most likely less than falls from ladders. Certainly less than drunk drivers, reckless drivers. Likely less than sports injuries or injuries mowing or gardening in your lawn. Maybe less than food poisoning from restaurants and sunburns. In fact of all the "injuries" resulting in taxpayers picking up the tab, I'd guess seatbelt non-compliance to be way down the list.
I started driving in 1976 and have always worn a seatbelt and believe everyone should...if they choose to.
I believe seatbelt laws to be more .gov intrusion into our lives and little more than a means to generate revenue with no due process of law.
I cannot imagine serious law enforcement officers would feel they are doing important work by writing seatbelt tickets.

How mugh do you think medical expenses from injuries do to not wearing a seatbelt cost Taxpayers as well as affect your insurance premiums? laffin' I figure it's a drop in the bucket compared to the toll of tobacco use in the United States. To insinuate that seatbelt laws serve any purpose other than to generate revenue for the municipalities that issue the citations for not wearing a seatbelt is laffable'.
