Yet another blatant attempt to make us believe there are now 2 sets of laws, one for the sheeples, one for the police/politicians.

Some bright spark will hopefully fight this...I think it's called entrapment?

It's good to know that there is so little actual crime in Canada that the police can expend their resources in nabbing that most henious of all scofflaws, the driver not wearing his seatbelt.

But I'm unsure of how it could be considered entrapment. Canadian law could differ from US law, but whatever you think of the method of discovery, they aren't luring or otherwise inducing these drivers into removing their seat belts in order to then bust them for removing their seatbelts.

And that's the point of entrapment- it protects the individual who might not have beeen otherwise disposed to commit the crime had it not been for the direct involvement of the police in providing the idea, egging on the individual on, or otherwise inducing the person to commit the crime. That just doesn't sound like what's happening here.

You can look right in the window and see if the driver is wearing a seatbelt, so there's no unreasonable search going on either.
