Yep, next two nights we run "wolf packs".
Now THAT is cool!!! Sounds like someone there is a fan of the Kriegsmarine!! Would be awesome if you could set up a checkpoint with several Kubelwagens blocking the road.

When seconds matter; the nanny-state cops are conducting seat belt check points.
I bet you don't set your road blocks up in 'Color Town'.....nope, that'd be just too much paperwork. And them big, bad niccas with the dred locks and "goal teefesez" are just too scary huh?

I refuse to wear a seat belt unless and until I'm hauling one of my trailers; especially the camper due to it's size and weight. If I'm running truck only I will not wear a seat belt.

How do you keep that GD F'n bell from going off in the Fords? I don't usually wear one at work because I'm in and out of the truck every 5 minutes. Go to a junknyard and get the lock from another seatbelt for that model vehicle model and put it in the seatbelt slot

I can't imagine having a job which compelled me to run up and down the roads aggravating people about wearing seatbelts.

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 I expect the Bears to be out in full force from now until Tuesday morn lookin for seatbelt violations and sobriety check points, didnt see a soul out yesterday, guess they were all sleepin up gettin ready.  Gunner Yep, next two nights we run "wolf packs". For DUI patrols We put a trooper in a car from another agency, with that officer. That gives us jurisdiction anywhere in the county. Wr will have several if these teams from numerous agencies, all given specific patrol areas. That'll work, hope youinz clean all the damn drunkards offa your stretch of highway. Gunner

Gunner Not only that, but it isn't long before every bar patron knows where the checkpoint is located. The roving patrols also (according to theory) also acts as a deterant because drivers may not know we are. Plus the added officers on the street, dedicated to DUI enforcement, increases the chances that DUI positive operators are encountered

Takes a special kind of person, I'm sure. Maybe he will be promoted to genuine meter reader in the next eight to ten years. Don't wanna overload anybody.

Why get irritated with it and ruin a good day? I'm glad for the technology that can get around the your radar gun when there's a good reason to speed. ...and sometimes it's necessary. I also realize that cops don't make the laws. Many, many times they give warnings to people, but some people are just not going to fall into line. That's their right. They pay their fine, pay higher insurance, and be on their way.

Just as I collect a regular salary for working my normal shifts whether Inhandle complaints or catch up on paperwork. And you won't get around "my" radar, because we don't use radar here. We use Vaascar and laser systems here. And as I stated, i normally don't give tickets. This guy was an exception.

So, we're all paying for this stupidity? The public sector will get their due.....eventually. Cities like Stockton and Detriot have already 'modified' their pension pay-outs.....all approved by higher courts. There will be a day when they actually blame their employer.....rather than the legitimate tax-payer.

Gitem, Sorry for the misunderstanding. You didn't sound irritated. I'm referring to all those who don't like the seatbelt law [including me]. Vaascar and laser system, huh?

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. Your premises are so far off that any conclusions that you might draw from them will be junk; to wit: "If most of America took responsibility for themselves we wouldn't have half these nanny laws." Nanny State has prevented us from taking care of ourselves. Nanny State has asserted itself as superior to, "We, the People..." That way, Nanny State tells us what's it needs to do to take care of us, prevents options that would compromise its superior status, and arrests and prosecutes us if "We, the People," deviate from its agenda. The goal of Nanny State is laws as vehicles of total control of, "We, the People."

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. Well said. I've worn them since starting to drive, too, and that was before there were any seatbelt laws. That's my choice, though. I see no legitimate basis on which government should make that decision for the individual.

Is NH the last State standing without? I thought there was one other.
[bleep] seatbelt and helmet laws. Thats one thing i think is off kilter. We have a seatbelt law, but no helmet law What's far off kilter is that such stupid, revenue generating laws exist. Get rid of 'em!

Vaascar is a timing/ distance computer that determines speed,
I don't like the seatbelt law either, thats why out of 17 stops that shift only one person was cited.
