The officer states he has to give a ticket and cannot issue a warning ticket, stating that it's part of a combative 'blitzkrieg' operation on seat belts. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 56524291 Repeating the term blitzkrieg a couple times. (the officer not stating what options occur when said 'blitzkrieg' operation is not in full force) Do they issue warnings then... perhaps a warning of the next blitzkrieg? The ticket is your warning. |

Dragged out of your car, boot on the neck, bitten by the drug sniffing dog, then summarily shot 11 to 15 times (depending on magazine capacity) for supposedly attempting to grab the gun at your head when told to put your hands behid your head... |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 57792469 United States 05/22/2014 09:10 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Who is the victim of you not wearing your seat belt? Quoting: Anonymous Coward 52969586 Oh, that's right, you are. Are you going to testify against yourself? I think you should tell the judge you don't want to press charges. Actually the "victim" is the taxpayer, if your in an accident. The government pays for the basic EMT services rendered if you survive the accident, and the costs of the coroner and detectives to investigate it, if you don't. So they are reducing their costs if you wear a seat belt. You injuries are often lessened so, less EMT services and time to stabilize you,(if needed), before ambulance transport is provided. Plus the sooner you return top work, the more income tax you pay. So it is in the government's interest to make you safer. Insurance companies have a stake in this also, as less injuries result in less medical bills, meaning more profit for them. So It's not about "you", but about them. |

Sounded like murder but I was not there. Neither was a camera. |

Scream Rape, OH, Not again DON'T RAPE ME! Male or female does not matter, if they don't help you will have the satisfaction that all the cellphone cameras will be video taping it and it well be on Youtube. You killer will be brought to justice or get a reduced sentence, time off for good behavior, or time served and with probation doesn't that make you feel all warm and fuzzy.
