I never wear a seatbelt.
I also don't close my container.
Gun cases are stupid. I don't care what state I'm driving through.
Travis Your milk container?

Is NH the last State standing without? I thought there was one other.
[bleep] seatbelt and helmet laws.

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. Do you always wear your uniform like that or did you just come over from the gay side of the 'Fire? Would that do it?

Next up, helmet laws for car drivers. But it will only be a secondary offense. At the start...

And and had he said anything differently than "dude, you can't give me a seatbelt ticket, I JUST FREAKING got one yesterday, on this God damned road". He would have gotten a warning too

I have been to a lot of safety programs in my 39 years with a utility. Seat belts and air bags can save your life from a 60mph head on collision. Most can just unbuckle and walk away. I know a state trooper who was in a high speed chase in a Ford Crown Victoria and ran off the road at 100 mph and hit a huge oak tree. Totaled his car, but he walked away. They do save lives, about 10,000 a year since before the laws were mandatory. However, I do see where you are coming from, It is your life, and your car, and you are the one to be hurt killed. Not really anyone else, except maybe your passengers if they don't have them on. It could be regulated by the insurance companies. No payout for accidents if you didn't have your seat belt on. No laws needed.

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. I dinno that anyone has ever seem me utter a word against Cops here. But as a regular Joe few things irk me more that the "CLICK IT OR TICKET" posters featuring stern looking Cops in shades staring hard. About the worst PR campaign you could possibly imagine.

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 Couldn't agree more I get a kick outta the fact that I can get a ticket for driving down the road in my 8000 lb truck. But I can legally be in flip flops, no shirt, no helmet and be perfectly legal on my cycle. The truck must be pretty damn dangerous.
Life is just one damned thing after another

If most of America took responsibility for themselves we wouldn't have half these nanny laws.
Most people, whether you want to believe it or not, will cry about being forced to wear a seat belt, then cry about being asked to pay even a small percentage of the medical bills when they get injured.
Of course, different government agencies pick up the rest. Paid for by taxes. Not just taxes from individuals, but also taxes and regulations to insurance companies. Who start being forced to offer a minimum coverage that costs you more. Both car and medical insurance.
The result is that you pay several times for those who won't pay for themselves or demand that underinsured folks go without care.
There's lots of other factors like the way too high cost of the medical care and lawsuits that claim cops/cities "should have protected me from myself." But the point is that there are reasons for these laws that most of you don't think about. These tickets do not generate the revenue you think. The average cop won't write enough tickets in his career to pay for even two entire years of his employment. Yep, just like when police have to defend themselves against a diabetic and beat on someone. If they didn't do it and just left them there passed out everyone would be complaining about that instead.
