NO, I came from Missouri to florida, and they have the same law, you have to get a ticket for some other violation, before they can ticket you for a seat belt. Too much Government. Pretty soon there going to tell u when u can go to the bathroom.
You are right technically. I live in an area in Florida (Central) and in one of our towns all the cops do is wait for teenage or younger drivers to pull them over for one thing or another....then they give the ticket for failure to wear seat belts.
