The news is that the Click it or Ticket stepped up enforcement is started on Monday.
Even if you are wearing your seatbelt, that isn't any protection against a ticket.
Police can now stop you for no other reason than they say you weren't wearing it. This is the ultimate revenue generator.
On Twitter, the propaganda is in full swing @NHTSAgov #ClickItorTicket
This page is pointing to the national contest in an attempt to organize Florida Police Officers, this site just made it public.
No wonder that police officer was smirking in court, he was likely thinking to himself that I was 1 out of 100 and he was going to win the contest.
The Transportation Department even has regional coordinators for this contest. In the North-west the coordinator is in Seattle, emailed him and he won’t even talk to me.
What a shake down.
If you have a black box, but I don’t want one of those in my car.
“...stuns me is that cops would be so callous ...” and “...My Grandfather was a cop and ...”
When your grandpop was a cop, he was a Peace Officer. He was charged with keeping the peace.
Now, they’re LAW ENFORCEMENT and you WILL comply!!!
Words mean things. In this case, intentionally so.
We’re being conditioned and forced into a mindset where we just sort of take it and shut our mouths about it.
Funny...Officers Hans and Dieter Friendly in 1930s Germany...Officers Boris and Yevgenny Friendly in Soviet Russia... Seems like we saw this movie somwhere before
Nah. Couldn’t be...this is America, after all, and it could NEVER happen here....
This is in every state, have you seen the commercials?
Our law enforcement have become mob enforcement agents in the greatest shake down.
When will people rebel?
That shows you how they are all behind this, all promoting this rip off of the citizenry
The problem is the primary stop law, it is immoral.
No cop can see that you aren’t wearing your seat belt from his car dependably. He is guessing.
Any cop that writes one of these tickets is committing perjury.
Ridiculous? It should be obvious that a disinterested third party has more interest in the life of an interested first party, right?

You already have it if you have Onstar. Even disconnected, as mine is, the information is collected. They just don’t share it with you. The phone can be turned on, too, not that they would have any reason to do so...Welcome to the world of Big Brother..
>Do you like spending 10 days in jail for contempt? A wise man picks his fights more carefully.
Yet there is no need for contempt; simply demand a jury-trial. In ALL criminal cases the right to trial by jury is preserved (6th Amd) and in ALL common-law cases where the amount is more than $20 (7th Amd).
You can’t, they tell you have to go take it to superior court on appeal, the traffic courts they have made civil administrate courts now.
If you ask for it, they basically rule against you automatically and you take it there.
I haven’t installed it and all my cars are too old. I am doing this on purpose, I will never buy a new car again.
>no, people have got tickets riding their lawn mowers drunk on their front lawns.
>The reason is they say if they weren’t there you could potentially go onto the road.
They should challenge it; jury-trial, defense would be easy:
Defendant: “Mr. Officer, can you tell me why you gave me a ticket for drunk driving?”
Officer: “You were driving a riding lawnmower while drunk.”
Defendant: “And doesn’t that law apply to roads, specifically roads accessible to the public, and not people’s lawns?”
Officer: “Yes, that is the case; but there is a potentiality that you could have gone from your lawn onto the road.”
Defendant: “But I did not go out onto the road, correct?”
Officer: “You might have when I was not there.”
Defendant: “Do you have any witnesses saying that I did?”
Officer: “No.”
Defendant: “Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, there you have it. The prosecution admits that the law applies only to public roads, that I was not on the public roads during my encounter with the officer, AND that they have no witnesses saying otherwise.”

1. Driving or operating or being in control of a motor vehicle;
2. On a road or highway (or anywhere within the state);
3. While under the influence of alcohol (or while intoxicated/inebriated).
I have seen stories of people getting tickets on dirt bikes on state or federal lands.
I know in some states, there are exceptions.
Like in West Virginia they spray paint farm use on the side and take off the license plates. As long as they keep it off the road, they don’t even need a license. Your 5 year old could drive it.
I'm getting close.
I've been trying to get to challenge state statutes, and judicial rulings, based on their being plainly contrary to the State's Constitution... sadly, all I ever get is redirection and/or "you don't have standing."
This one legislature wanted to ban farmers from burning their grass seed farms like they have done for almost 100 years.
It is used for weed control without any chemicals and she was worried about the air pollution.
Now the farmers are having to use expensive herbicides that are going to go into streams and kill salmon. These people are nuts.
I almost never wear my seat belt simply because about 8 or 10 years ago they made it a Primary Law in Ohio.
When the seat belt law was first passed in Ohio in the early 1980s the state legislature PROMISSED it would never be a Primary Law or reason pull you over. Well they lied and get away with it because the public is too stupid to remember and throw their lying asses out.
Bottom line, there are calculated personal risks that everyone takes in life every day. The decision whether or not to wear a seat belt is one of those risks. I currently own a motorcycle with 160 horsepower. It doesnt have a seat-belt. It is a personal risk that I choose to take. F the nanny state and the JBTs who support it.
And to think, I used to wonder how the NAZIs got all those people to walk gently into those gas chambers. It is no longer such a mystery, they just got them to take one step at a time.
