Mandatory seatbelt laws are wrong because...?
Seat belts laws are wrong because they restrict personal behavior for no good reason. The only argument for seat belt laws is that theoretically car insurance premiums could be lowered because people will be safer while driving, leading to reduced medical costs. In fantasy land, maybe, but in reality car insurance premiums are set based on what people will accept paying. Clearly car insurance companies aren't suddenly going to reduce prices that people are used to paying because a seat belt law is enacted. It's fine to use some government money to encourage people to wear seat belts, and it's okay, in my opinion, to require auto makers to install seat belts in all cars sold in the US, but making a law to force people to wear them is a step over the line, in my opinion.
That's a rhetorical question, right?
Indiana Constitution
Bill of Rights. (not to be confused with a bill of privileges)
Section 1.
WE DECLARE, That all people are created equal; that they are endowed by their CREATOR with certain inalienable rights; that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness; that all power is inherent in the people;
What part of LIBERTY do you not understand?
And if there is federal constitution has jurisdiction within the boundaries of Indiana, then:
Amendment IX
The enumeration in the Constitution of certain rights, shall not be construed to DENY OR DISPARAGE others (rights) retained by the people.
Surely the decision to wear a seat belt or not is a right "retained by the people."
I am for seat belts being used however you shoudl do some research on the car seat companies lobbying these senators.
Do you need the government as a mommy? Most adults don't so I would guess that neither do you.
I propose seat belt laws on motorcycles, bicycles, skate boards, snow skiis, water skiis, roller skates and ice skates. Also, movie theater seats, baby strollers, beds, and sleeping bags. Warning lables on knives, forks, spoons, hammers, bricks, rock, and limitations on pencil sharpeners....
I hope you read posts 10 and 12 and others.
because they are an invasion of personal privacy.. and preparation for worship of the socialist god.. Government..
Its a religious thing.. not all are democrats or RINOs who worship at the trough of a socialist SwineGod.. who demands followers to wallow in taxes and grunt like piglettes at the teat of government largess..
Because the person injured would be the person who violated the seat belt law. People are too stupid to decide any and all safety issues!
They are wrong because of 2 reasons:
1. I as a grown adult do not need the government to tell me I have to wear a seatbelt. FOLLOW THE MONEY!!
2. Our representatives should be more concerned with the terrorists that are trying to kill us and start protecting our borders. FOLLOW THE MONEY!!
Because they are.
They're wrong because they are arbitratry and capricious.
Do you see them in schoolbuses with all those PRECIOUS little children?
And why not?
Seatbelt laws are only passed for the reason that they collect more revenue for the greedy government, who couldn't be less interested in actual safety.
It is my right to choose.
Because it's none of your business.
Because they are mandatory.
