Click It or Ticket Seatbelt Laws
by As a American I think we should be able to do anything our heart desires as long as it does not hurt other people. I’ve grown up thinking that cops were our friends and they were here to protect and serve, as their motto says. Over the past years I’ve started seeing this trend of the Government, and the Law, infringing on my rights and freedom. The Seat Belt Law is one of them.
I’ve been pulled over, not for speeding, not for driving drunk, not for driving aggressively, but for not wearing a seat-belt. I am being passed by people on motorcycles not even wearing a helmet, without any protection at all, and I’m the one getting pulled over. Don’t get me wrong, I want a motorcycle myself, so thats not the point. The point is that the seat-belt laws are just another pick on this person law because it is for their own good.
The police can dangerously drive 60mph to get a donut, without any lights or sirens, but I can’t mind my own business at a safe speed without a seat belt on.
Their argument for all of this is they are trying to save lives & that every-body’s insurance rates are high because of accidents. Again, this is my life & I am not endangering those around me. This law is B.S. As far as insurance rates go – are you kidding me? Do you really think your insurance is going to be lower from everybody wearing a seat-belt? Because of this law, 83% of Americans are now wearing seat-belts. Has your insurance gone down? I didn’t think so. Leave me alone!
The seat-belt laws have turned people away from the police. Speeders, drunk drivers, murders, rapes, robberies & what are you doing today officer? Yes, your waiting or hiding like a weasel & giving people tickets for a seat-belt. Nice job. I feel so much safer now.
You take people that respect what you do & turn them against you by enforcing a communist law like this one. What a Public Relations Screw-up this is. Never there when you need them & always there when you don’t. This is a old saying that rings true every time you see someone pulling people over for something like this.
It was radar detectors, smoking, seat-belts. What are you going to fine me over next? Do you see a trend here? Overweight people drive up insurance rates. Are they next on whats good for us? Some idiot in government has already tried to tax things with sugar in it. We soon will not be allowed to eat what we want either. This country isn’t what it used to be & these pork laws are a disgrace to what this country was founded on.
