Bill To Strengthen MS Seat Belt Law Going To Gov.(snip to further harass African-American drivers)

a law enforcement officer could pull over a vehicle simply if he thinks the driver or a front-seat passenger is not wearing a seat belt.

Ah, the rub is to find a LEO that thinks.

[razorback-bert]

Have you'll heard the Texas PSA that says you can now be arrested (taken to jail) if the LEO suspects DWI?


I thinks this is the message.

A lady named Katrina didn't help money matters any in Mississippi.

I agree, and know very well the hardships endured by MS folks - especially in Goula and Gautier. But, like I said, no one is forcing them to take the money. This is the other Golden Rule at work. Those with the gold make the rules. I also happen to think that seat belt laws are not only logical, but in check with rational and proper lawmaking.

Sure we will get taxed more on the state level but that is a little closer to me.

And this is how it should be.

Hmmmmm, who to thank, who to thank......:)

****Don't laugh. Michigan had to do away with the "Back tag" requirement for hunting because a Jewish person complained that it was like a tattoo in the concentration camps.****

In all seriousness, Jews go hunting??? I mean with all the "kosher laws" I wouldn't think there's much game a Jew could eat. Unless of course a Rabbi is standing by to do the field dressing.

To me this sounds like the typical phony baloney 'tie up the court' law suit.

I'm sure that many do go hunting, I know some of my Jewish friends do, even they say it was an asinine ruling, but the guy did win the case and back-tags are no more.

the car will automatically spit out a $100 speeding ticket from the ashtray.

What makes you think cars will have ashtrays much longer?

Have you'll heard the Texas PSA that says you can now be arrested (taken to jail) if the LEO suspects DWI?

Heard it, they mean it, and it's now almost universal in all the states.

BTW, "DWI" means anything LEO wants it to be.

If you attract the attention of LEO for anything while on the road these days, be prepared for a major hassle.

Just plaster the back of your pickup with NRA and 2nd Amendment stickers, It seems to put the fear of God into Barney Fife and they seldom stop you for anything.

I'm only partially joking on that!

"How in the world do they ever expect Mississippi
and America to get past the race issue with idiotic
statements like this coming from black leadership."


You are SO right.
Very well said...

This has nothing to do with highway safety, and everything to do with sucking up more federal money.

[Redbob]

""I voted for it, but I think it's too much government,'' said Sen. Terry Brown, R-Columbus. "I hate to give up that federal highway money.''

"I have principals, but I never let them get in the way of money-grubbing!"

[elkfersupper]

I know. However, have you noticed that they run in packs these days? Hardly ever just one.

Another relatively new thing that just galls me is that they position their cruisers partially out in the traffic lane on a stop.

Why is that?

[Beagle8U]

I don't know why they do that, I do know that they seem to leave the "good ol' boys" alone and go after easier prey.

I have been stopped once in the past 20 years, 35 in a 25, cop was real nice and just said slow down a lil.

The black angle went right over my head.

Watching the news tonight, I thought "right from the motor vehicle laws of CA."
