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



So tell me, How many warnings or citations have you given to someone out riding thier Harley without a seatbelt on?

Seatbelt laws are bull chit and it should be a choice.

I rest my case.


Seems we constantly hear about how Social Security is going to run out of money but we never hear about welfare or food stamps running out of money. What's interesting is the first group WORKED for their money but the other group didn't.

Of course I had my belt on while he was talking to me and the only wiggling around I did was to get my registration and proof of insurance out of the center console.
I'm absolutely sure he assumed I snuck the belt on while I was pulling over, of course the judge didn't believe me either, not sure what possessed me to think he would.
Similar thing happened to me. Cop pulled me over for speeding, so I pull over and, in order to get to my wallet, I remove my seat belt. He tries to cite me for not wearing it. Fortunately, I was able to convince him that I only took it off to get my wallet.

gitem_12,

God forbid you were to discharge your weapon, God forbid that you kill a person appearing of Arabic descent, and God forbid the deceased's family's lawyer gets ahold of your avatar. On a minor note, if there are people of Arabic lineage living in your jurisdiction and they find out a cop in their city has an extremely hostile and overt prejudice against people of Arabic ethnicity, you'll be looking for a new job within days.

You oughta give up Kool-Aid. It warps your brain. But since you're such a bright dude, I'm sure that you'll disregard this advice and keep your avatar in defiance.

Jus' sayin'...

Hey moron, the avatar has nothing to do with people of Arabic lineage. You should just keep to chasing the trannys, laguna, you pathetxi, syphillis infused degared fool.

That's always perplexed me, as well.

Gitem_12,

It ain't me you might need to convince.

Does your agency know you are prejudiced against Muslims? God knows, a search here will turn up numerous of your anti-Muslim rants. You are aware of state and federal hate crime laws, aren't you? You ought to be since you're all over law enforcement.

What flavor Kool-Aid warps you???

Blahh blahh blahh, isn't your alloted time at the computer about done for the day. Or did you get extra time for good behavior?

So what. The whites wear sleepwear at WalMart every day. Although it would be a disadvantage to run from a burning car in a nightgown. AND some nightgowns are made of flammable material. I hope the things on their heads aren't.

I would so much prefer, that you and your fellow LEO's ignore those who are not wearing their seatbelts.

And when you see someone texting, pull them over and take their phone, smash it on the concrete and then beat the living fk' out of them with our baton.

Only thing worse would be having to work as a telemarketer. At least as a cop you get to shoot guns and drive fast once in a while.

I was told by our local PD that in TX if your job requires the in and out, like meter reading and such, the seat belt law does not apply. No clue if true or not.
But our chicken [bleep] city... they will come around now and then and threaten you RE the belts and phones... but you see top dogs doing the same.

It never ends.
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.

From what I hear, there are no seats in a bus where there isn't a tall soft seat back in front of you now, for that reason. Not that it 'll do a damn thing for a rollover..... but impact wise its supposed to be about the same. At least thats what I've heard.

Still can't go the chit when I have to wear a belt, which I do unless I"m in a fire engine and the damn belt is too short to go around me with all my gear on plus SCBA gear.... go figure... but I wear em other than that, why do the cycle guys get off free?
I actually have yet to see a good cycle wreck without a helmet either. Always been head trauma and most of them dead or dying as I get there.

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.


Yes, and the slope is greased; it is impossible to crawl back up it. Politicians inevitably expand government while limiting individual freedom by Rules, Regulations, and Restrictions. I doubt one in ten understand the significance of what they do.

I�ve heard the idea that �bodies-as-projectiles� is one of the big concerns in a rapid deceleration (impact). Even a 50 pound body free to move around at 30 mph, when everything else has slowed dramatically, is a force to be reckoned with. High school-bus seats - as well as the significantly greater mass of the larger vehicle, mean that those bodies are less likely to fly around so much. Motorcycle riders probably have better survival chances if they can get free from their wreck; their odds simply aren�t very good when you think about it.

How did you pull over 17 fellow officers in their personal vehicles &/or their immediate families in a single shift? You need to buy a lottery ticket! cool

Don't think there have been any cars produced since the late 1960s/early 1970s that didn't have front seats without tall, soft seat backs.

Don't know if the guy on a radio show I was listening to was kidding or not, but allegedly the state he was calling from had tried to mandate seat belts on motorcycles. Sounds reasonable to me.
