You have to decide whether personal safety is more important to you than personal freedom. If you agitate for this new law, you are in effect advocating ultimately the enforcement of your will upon others at the point of a gun. If you vote for this law or agitate for this law you are adding another layer of regulation that will empower the Police who are imperfect men to make primary traffic stops and infringe upon the day to day activities of free men. Every time elected officials, bureaucrats or by popular referendum the majority decide to impose their will on others they do so with the implicit threat of deadly force. By that I mean the Police carry weapons and will use said weapons on the citizen that tries to resist the enforcement of a law.

Police are us. We are all imperfect beings. To empower an imperfect being to confront another imperfect being is a tricky thing. You empower government at great peril. Be very very careful law and order types... “Their ought to be ja law”. A more foolish thing was never said and represents an audacious level of self absorption and self righteousness. Shame on me for ever thinking that... Shame on you for saying it (almost) here.

What a pant load. How is your personal freedom abridged ?
Driving is a privilege, conferred by the state...not a right. We're a nation of laws.
you don't like the law ? don't drive.
