My only issue with not enforcing seatbelt laws is that hospitals have to treat you if you don't have insurance and can't pay. I could care less if you want to drive around without a seatbelt but when you cost tax payers and hospitals money because they are obligated by law to treat you then you should be required to wear a seatbelt. View Quote The problem with that mindset is if you're going to go that route why would it end with seatbelts ? Should we ban rock climbing or motorcycling ? That is dangerous and can cost the taxpayers money if someone gets hurt. Mandate the fire department check our homes for smoke detectors and fine us if we don't have enough ? Most don't want that kind of intrusion everywhere so I don't see why it should be the case with seatbelts, but nothing else. You're either free to be stupid or you're not. |

I used to drive a Ranger until recently. I was pulled over in Spokane on my way to work for the same reason. I received a warning, not ticket. Seriously? If you are going to make me late to work, at least make it be for a citation worthy stop, not some bullshit stop where you expect me to show you gratitude. You would have rather had a ticket? Interesting. Not really - what he's saying is that if you're going to go through the trouble - go through the trouble. Stopping and doing all the BS without the ticket just means you're dicking with people to have something to do - there's no "LAW ENFORCEMENT" in that situation. Either enforce the law or don't - can't go 1/2 way. That makes 0 sense. It's traffic enforcement----NOT revenue generation. You would prefer only revenue generation? That's a good one. Have to remember that on open mike night. |

Why not just take the plate off and toss it? I've stopped for it but as far as I can remember I made them aware and sent them on their way. Unless they weren't wearing a seatbelt. ..........just kidding, I've never written a seatbelt ticket. But I have written for child seat violations. Is arfcom against those too? |

I said I wasn't sure about it but it was an option. I have argued for your position in the past, and taken flak for being cruel not wanting mandated treatment. I just don't see the point in mandating one safety feature in the name of saving tax dollars but not the thousands of other safety features. I don't see any hypocrisy in that, in fact quite the opposite. It is hypocrisy to want mandated seatbelts but not regulate every single area of your life in the name of safety. Heck if its all about the money why would someone get treated without having cash even if they were wearing their seatbelt and did nothing wrong. Some do want true freedom but unfortunately I don't think this is as simple as you're making it. |

It is click it or ticket grant season. A cop working the grant needs a primary reason to stop you to issue a secondary seatbelt violation. If that's the case in your state. Posted Via AR15.Com Mobile |

Years ago I knew a guy who made his kids wear seat belts because it was the smart thing to do.
He however could not bring himself to buckle up because he had twice been ejected from cars , one that had burned badly and one that had been pancaked . He admitted that he would be safer if he used the belt but could not bring himself to drive while strapped in. |

Seatbelt tickets started out a secondary offense here, but changed to primary as soon as the law was able to be changed (2 years). It's $375 here. The young cops look all when they try to get you for no belt when you're driving an old car with lap belts. Takes a minute for them to realize that old cars didn't have shoulder straps.
