A few days after being a pall bearer at my best friend's funeral (he was murdered, still unsolved), I got pulled over for not wearing a seatbelt. I was fuming and lucky to not get arrested. Things like "why don't you do your G*d damned job and find the people who killed my friend instead of picking on me", etc.
The Safety Nazis are out of control in this country. It will be our ruin. If seatbelt law supporters are so GD concerned about the medical costs of injuries, why not outlaw recreational sports. Costs due to them far outweigh car accident injuries. Also, outlaw homosexual sex because AIDS costs us billions of dollars per year.
They are NOT concerned with safety.
They ARE concerned with jacking up the number of citations issued to justify higher annual budgets
If you don't believe that, then ask yourself why a fire engine is sent along with each ambulance call--what? a heart attack? Well, he must be burning up, too.!!!!
It's just typical bureaucratic "gimme more money."
