“The family members admit they weren't wearing their seat belts, but say it shouldn't have cost them the chance to say goodbye.” Mandating that adults wear their seat belts may be silly, but you have no more right to ignore the law when you're on your way to a funeral than when you're on the way to McDonald's.

True....but all the same, that doesn't mean the cop had to be a jobsworthy little jerk about it.

How many federal laws do you think you have violated in the last month? Did you have a right to violate these laws?

We could replace this cop with a robot since intelligence is no longer required for his job.

When it is a stupid, unjust, selectively-enforced law you have an obligation to ignore it.

There are so many laws on the books today that they certainly broke several others on the way to the cemetary.

Wonder why he didn't stop them for those?

Once I was pulled over for speeding on my way to the hospital to see my father. When I explained to the officer, he let me go with a warning.

This police officer should’ve done the same for these people. Who ever heard of a car in a funeral procession being ticketed for seatbelt violation... Delaying them so that they missed the burial was so wrong.
