Every electronic traffic information board has the “Click It Or Ticket” message this week.
There are cops in plain clothes at intersections with signs that say:
“I am a cop. Click it or ticket.”
They radio ahead to another cop and if the driver or passenger not wearing a seat belt is still not belted, they get a ticket.
We got involved in one of those heading out to North Padre Island on a Memorial day weekend some years ago.
The road was backed up for miles so, they posted cops under the overpass for people exiting to get out of the traffic,looking at every car.
Pretty chicken chit if you ask me.
I saw one in Roud Rock a couple of months ago on old Settlers drive in the middle of a workday. (not just for seatbelts)
