today i was driving home from a B-B-Q. and all of a sudden, i see police lights. i get 2 tickets for not doing a complete stop and not wearing a seatbelt. i guess when he cut the people off to get to me didnt count. oh yeahhe didnt have a seat belt either. point of this story, WEAR YOUR SEAT BELTS. now i have to dish out $140 to get these tickets dismissed, that coud have been used on so many other things. not the cops fault though i guess, just doing his job. but it still sucks. thanks for letting me vent.

Seems like they are really pushing their "click it or ticket" seatbelt enforcement program. It's for our safety anyway...

sucks, but it was your fault. I always wear my seatbelt, and bitch at others for not wearing theirs. Its important. The complete stop thing sucks, but usually I make sure I wont get pulled over for my stops.

or maybe he stopped me for the stop sign and gave me a ticket for the seat belt just for the hell of it.

Not sure how it is in Florida, but in PA cops cannot pull you over and cite for a seat belt violation only. The primary reason for pulling you over has to be something other than a seat belt violation. The seat belt ticket is basically a bonus.

^over here, they have the "click it or ticket" policy, but i've almost never worn my seatbelt and have never gotten stopped for it.

Yeah, i think that is pretty much in every state now.
