The "Click It or Ticket" campaign involves checkpoints, patrols and advertisements to help enforce seat belt laws. It runs from May 22 through June 4.Leaving aside the question of whether or not the government has any business requiring seat-belt use, the checkpoints are a classic case of wasting time and money by appearing to be "doing something".
Once the word gets out people will avoid the are like they do "DUI checkpoints", the locations of which are known in every bar within a five mile radius within fifteen minutes of their setup.
Meanwhile, all the other roads in town are unpatrolled.

In my county, the DUI checkpoints are published in the local rag a few days ahead of time.
