"Massachusetts legislature (much to the surprise of many) killed a "primary" seat belt law"
You have GOT to be kidding me! This is shocking in so many ways....commie MA DELETING a law?
Naaahhh.....what was it REPLACED with?
For some time,we've had a seat belt law that says that cops can't *stop* you because you're not wearing your belt,but if you're stopped for something else (broken tail light,for example) they can cite you for not being belted as well as the broken light.
What was killed was a bill to give cops the right to stop you simply for not being belted which is what's called a "primary" seat belt law.
