15 years ago @ National Motorists Ass... - Seat Belt Laws: Primar... · 0 replies · +4 points
We continue to debate whether seat belts save lives. Whether they do or don't is not the issue. The real issue is the fact that the goverment is continuing to dictate more and more control over us. Wearing a seat belt should be encouraged but not be a law, just like a helmet on a motorcycle. I'm a grown adult and should have the right to make this choice for myself. The only reason this stupid law made it in to effect was to make more ticket money for the townships that need to make a little extra cash. I've watch Burlington township in NJ, personally pulling people over for not wearing seatbelts. They sent the whole force down to 541, stand in the middle of the street and pulled over drivers left and right. This is a criminal act but it happens once a year in the spring. People really do need to speak out against this. Even if you are for wearing seatbelts, it should still be a choice and you can't argue with that.
