Your wrong it's called incrementalism. In Ohio 10 years ago they had a voluntary campaign to get people to wear seatbelts. Then they came out with a law that stated you could get a ticket for not wearing a seatbelt ONLY if they pulled you over for another crime like speeding etc and noticed you were not wearing a belt.

Today in Ohio the troopers can pull you over for just not wearing a belt and ticket you.

While I appreciate the slippery slope approach, not wearing a seat belt in Ohio is still a secondary offense, not a primary one (i.e. they still can't pull you over for it, although every single year/session some politician introduces a bill in the OGA to make it a primary one).
