I can see your point about being annoyed at the 'staties' pulling you over
the ones already wearing seatbelts.  The problem is that piles of drivers
still refuse to wear them, of course;  there is now way for the staties to
know which ones are wearing them or not.  Solution?  Pull everyone over.
What if boils down to is the fact that the ones not wearing belts are making
it a hassle for those of us who do wear them.  After all, they're just trying
to keep us from dying right?  (and before you turn on the flames, do you think
they'd enforce the law if they didn't approve of it?  On second thought,  they
have superiors...)  In any case, I'm not against their trying to save lives,
what I'm against is the ones who don't wear the belts, making it a hassle, in
the long run, for those tho do wear them.
