Seatbelt Fines

What a load of crap.

Seatbelt fines.

Restraint systems in all cars are redundant. There is air bags on all cars now. The use of seatbelts is entirely useless, except its easy to detect by police and so makes it a lovely way to fine drivers. Its a form of automobile tax disguised as something useful.

Fines here are 240 dollars, far higher than needed as a deterrent. Perfect as income for the city. No one will ever say anything against it as its portrayed as a "safety" thing. In reality its a "bullshit" thing.

If you could find one way to discredit cops and make them hated by all  -  this would be it. By all means, police, throw away your credibility and become the enemy... your stupid enough to do it then your stupid enough to reap what you sow.

Is it just me or is bullshit becoming the new normal?
