Okay. What if neither my community nor the local police department has a "domestication" agreement? What kind of evidence can I use to show something that does not exist?

You would find the local or state statute which would say that is required. (is there a signed agreement with the association or property owner? They should have a copy, you could subpoena that as part of your infraction.)

"With all the crime around, you would think these officers would have better things to do than check and see if people are wearing seatbelts. Are they looking for criminals?"

Actually we are. We usually run the person's ID number off thier license to see if its been suspended or revoked. If that is the case the minor traffic violation becomes an arrest and another hazard to the good drivers paying expensive insurance rates is removed.
