Is just my imagination or are the cops looking more and more for the easy "collar"?

Is it just my imagination or did I not hear that you wouyldn't/couldn't be stopped solely because of a seat-belt violation? At least that's what I seem to recall when the seat-belt laws were being imposed here in Pennsylvania.

The PA State Police are being very open about seat-belt check points... as are many of the local-yokel Barney Fife types. "Click It or Ticket" ads are running on the radio. And, yet... School buses have NO seat-belts... motorcycle riders don't have to wear helmets... Go figure.

Revenue generation. Pure and simple.

Or the easy dollar.

Those $100.00 fines can add lots to the local treasury.

It's just business. It's called "Enhancement of revenue streams".

This crud has to be coming down from the top. I doubt any cop above the grade of Barney Fife would get off on ticketing seat beltless drivers.
