Whitepunk – If you didn’t have LEO checking this everyone would be speeding more and no one would be held accountable for theie actions.
This isn’t Germany, no Autobahn here.

I think it is just plum stupid to get pulled over for not having a seat belt on and sure is a dumb law,although it is a very good to wear one,but a stupid law.How come you don’t have to wear a helmut while rideing a motorcycle now that is plain acinine. they need to be pulled over and get a ticket.

nothing but a money racket…a law requiring children to wear seatbelts is one thing, but shouldn’t it be my choice since I am not a minor??

Or they could just start making all the cars with the breathalizer test before the engine will start, like they hook to some cars already.

Finally, Florida has joined the majority of states that have primary seat belt laws. Yes, I think it is unfortunate that a seat belt law is necessary. You would think that everyone would want to use the only piece of safety equipment designed to keep occupants from being ejected from their vehicles and killed in traffic crashes in our state. Seat belts are designed to prevent occupant ejection — plain and simple. Of course, they only work if you use them.

I can’t think of anyone who would be so reckless as to climb into a roller coaster or other ride at Disney World and NOT buckle up or use the restraint provided before zooming down the track at 50+ miles per hour. However, some people would not think twice about jumping in their car and go whizzing down the Interstate at 80+ mph with no seat belt on. Does this make sense to you?

This is just another excuse for people to be inconvenienced and potentially have their vehicle searched by LEO.

Traffic enforcement is nothing more than what LEO does when they don’t have anything important to do. No crimes to solve, no fugitives to apprehend…. let’s sit on the side of the road with a radar gun and “catch” people who are violating the absurdly low “speed limits”! That’s the LEO bread and butter, especially FHP. I personally find it an offensive waste of my tax dollars.
