In my opinion, this
is one of the most asinine, money-making driving laws known to man!
Sure, one could say: "Seat belt tickets don't cost much; they care about
your life, so you need to buckle up so you don't die in a wreck." LOL!
What a load... For one, the seat belt law allows "officers" to pull
you over for no apparent reason, hoping that they can fine/bill your
wallet to death while making them look like super heroes bringing in
money for their town. Speaking of that, maybe this is a small town
thing, where there isn't much crime... Yeah, the seat belt saved my
life going 22 miles per hour through town, but thanks for pulling me
over so you could search my vehicle in hopes to find an old beer can I
drank while installing my stereo 3 months ago! Yeah, there is no
marijuana in my cigarette pack, so why are you looking in there for my
seat belt violation? Ha!
Anyway, I have been pulled over so many times for a seat belt, that it
isn't even funny. Out of those 17 times getting pulled over for a seat
belt violation, I have only had 2 tickets for it, and one of those was
dropped. However, I was searched thoroughly multiple times, including
my vehicle and "no officer, that is not a gun, it just grew that way!"
At any criminal rate, I could tell you so many ludicrous situations that
involved the "I care about your safety crap," but I refuse to do so. I
have even been pulled over before, during the middle of the night on a
dark road, while the officer said, after searching my entire ride:
"Well, it didn't appear you had your seat belt on, is why I pulled you
over." Really? You can see in the dark on a backstreet without street
lights soooo good, that you could tell that I didn't have my seat belt
on even though I was already wearing it?" Simply amazing, I tell ya...
I can definitely see having a seat belt law for babies, small kids and
young adults/teenagers, but not for grown adults 18+. It is fairly
obvious to me that the "buckle up for safety thing" is one giant load of
steaming dung, as it just adds leverage to the reasons to pull people
over for no reason. The proof is in the pudding and I've seen it way
too many times. Plus, are you that naïve that you actually believe that
some group of random judicial strangers cares about your crazy adult
life while driving down the road? Ha! Yeah, you'd find more love on
the Jerry Springer show... Anyway, make sure you buckle up to TRY and
avoid getting pulled over for no reason or, I mean, for safety, right?
