its all about how much money they can bring in for the offenses,bottom line its all about the money.if they couldn't make a fine out of it they could care less if you had a seat belt out on.

I never liked wearing seat belts, then they made the law that said kids had to be buckled up so in order to get them to keep the belts on and stay seated i started wearing them. Now i buckle up every time i get in the vehicle.

Like I said before, WE are not the bad guys....it's time to concentrate on the real bad guys who would like to annihilate our civilization in their quest for 70 virgins. Leave Granny and the rest of us alone.

UGH!!!! That seat belt law is as bad as the cell phone law. If they're REALLY looking to stop accidents, they should outlaw radios in cars, since people being distracted with changing the radio settings causes more accidents than all other forms of distraction. The government should BUTT-OUT.

In my 50+ years I've seen our freedom slowly diminishing and it is quite sad. We fight for other countries freedoms while we lose our own. And on the lottery end of this, when I buy a MM ticket it says for the benefit of our stadium not our schools.

I only got used to wearing seat belts because I have a couple kids and it got me into the habit. I now like it because it gives me more stability when driving.<br />However, the point you made about generating money in fines is the crux of the matter.

I agree 100%... Were being shaped into nice little sheep more and more everyday! Not sure what the fine is were at, but here it's $380 first offense and almost $900 second offense. 100 first offense tickets that day would bring in $38 G's...Not bad for a days work. We'll nab them criminals later! And i'd like to add that although you prefer to wear your belt everytime, i prefer to have the choice of wearing it when i want to. That's my view of Freedom!
