[QUOTE="Kevin Lang, post: 913744, member: 65699"] The question is not of the guilt of the people involved--they violated the law..a law that the state (according to the article) was paid $3.4 million in federal money to enact. The question is about the purpose of this enforcement. The article repeats over and over that this is not a tax, however, it seems to be all about the cops harvesting the money, rather than promoting public safety. If public safety were the first concern, actual penance would be demanded of the violators, like a license revocation, or at least license points. Not a piddling 108 dollars. The article also mentions that the cops flagrantly violated one of their own laws in this sting operation, that standing on a highway to solicit business, employment, or contributions from the occupant of any vehicle, is illegal. The state is 87% seat-belt wearing. This crackdown is pointless, except for money. Again, it is a person's prerogative to wear a device for their own safety. To force someone to do something for their "own good" is morally wrong, and not the place of government. [/QUOTE]
