I don't quite understand what you mean.
Floridians can be stopped now for not having a seatbelt.
The clowns in D.C. did this: they were threatening to withhold federal highway funds from the state unless the state made seat belt enforcement a priority.
The state, desiring to get the funds, agreed.
The problem isn't with Rubio or even Crist (in this limited case), but with the system that sends money to a central government that re-distributes that money according to its desires.
