Undoubtedly the goggles were paid for by the fines they're raking in.
Bad policy, bad policing.
Why were the seat belt violators wearing night vision goggles?......
I thought the title meant that the seat belt violators were wearing night vision goggles. Who writes this stuff?
If the police have time for this, surely we can send them TDY to El Paso to help out the border patrol..
Let me get this straight....I can choose to end a pregnancy.....but I cannot choose whether or not I want to wear a seat belt.
Go figure
It warms my heart to see our tax dollars being spent to catch these dangerous criminals.
Hey.....maybe it's time for everyone to have their CITIZENSHIP stamped on their forehead.....and THESE COPS could THEN FIGURE out who's legal, and who's NOT.....ya think?
Yeah, they will go to the max to nail citizens not wearing seatbelts, but at the same time, refuse to apprehend illegals!
What an absolute, utter waste of police resources.
"Police say 40 percent of drivers don't use their seat belts at night, making the roads much more dangerous after sunset."
Just how does the ROAD get more dangerous when some other clown dosen't put on his belt ?
Seat belt stops as a primary offense, in my researched opinion, are basically a new way for ploice to justify pulling over more people likely to be scofflaws in other ways. I will not understand why they do this, but people who drive without licenses, registration, insurance, under the influence, etc.. are also far less likely to be buckled up, and these other offenses can be ticketed as well on a seat-belt traffic stop and discovery.
I think using night vision or goggles is way past bordering on ridiculous. When are people going to stand together against this crap.
I feel all warm and fuzzy knowing that the US civilian population are a testbed for advanced military grade surveillance and interdiction methods for minor offenses like not utilizing lap and shoulder restraints. Ein volk, ein reich,...
Please explain to me how not wearing a seatbelt at any time makes the "roads more dangerous". The intent of the law is that the "roads" not be "more dangerous" to others, which is the only reason for the "Rules of the Road" comprehended by the states police power. 
Locally here in Lodi NJ, the Bacon have implimented a stop light cop. He's at a very busy intersection(maywood Avenue, Essex Street) pulls cars out of line at the light into the parking lot right there. He seems to be doing about 10 an hour. From my understanding, the State or maybe it was the Fed, granted these departments funds to do this kind of enforcement.
I wear my seatbelt everywhere, but I think this kind of enforcement is WAY over the top. We used to call the folks engaged in this kind of behavior Highway Robbers.
It is truly sad that police resources are being wasted on nanny statism. But since nearly every candidate presented by either major party is a nanny statist proponent of reactionary legislation and revenue enhancing initiatives, it's not a surprise.
What a waste of tax payers money. I have noticed some police love to pretend they are in the military.
