When the "New" (early 90's? Late 80's?) seat belt law was being championed by Tallahassee for votes here in Florida, the ads boldly, specifically and emphatically stated that if Florida voters approved this new law, no one would ever be "stopped" for non-use of seat belts. Rather, they would be ticketed for this offense only upon being stopped for another offense.

How stupid, gullible and short sighted have we all become to have believed this crap. (I voted against it)

And here we are in 2006, ("We, the People..."), where the specifics of how and why the law was passed are tossed out like yesterdays garbage.
