Mega-pissed off: Seat Belt Ticket - what next ...

2,046 778 November 22, 2008 at 03:44 PM in Chat
If this thread turns into a rabble mind-blindingly saying "oh, you need to wear your safety belt" than you can have this thread. If I dont want to wear a seat belt and I am driving alone, it is my business, not the states. Seat belt violations are what they are in some states (and some states dont consider it a primary violation, so they can't stop you for that alone) because when uninsured drivers go splat, its the state that has to pay for it. So, they came up with this fine to pay that and its another reason for them to stop you, as if they dont have enough bs in their traffic code. So that's it ... there is no discussion to be had or wanted to be had. This thread AINT for that.

Anyway ...

While coming to a traffic light, an officer hiding behind some cars at the street corner like a damn stalker pops out and starts shining a flashlight in cars to see if everyone has their belts on. This is friken insane to me. And I am thinking of the following:

1. This ticket wont likely be entered into the court for 2 weeks. I am moving next week and can get a license in another state. It's also a non-moving violation. In all likelihood, when I get the new states license there will be no way for them to know, for those reasons, and I do not believe there is a nationwide database setup at this time. So, I will just blow off the ticket, thank you very much. Hope you enjoyed wasting your time writing it. The state can send as many letters as they want, they will make good kindling, and I doubt I'll be in any trouble with the new state for a non moving violation. If I am, screw it, I'll walk. If they issue a bench warrant, I'll have a new license in a new state with a new address. I doubt that new address, etc will be in their system, so who cares.

2. When I return to this town, I will no longer go downtown via main roads, nor will I buy any food, gas, etc from this town. I have already written a note to go out to the clerks office stating as much: that while they get this tax money, I will make sure they get nothing else that I can avoid, therefore, in the long run, you lose. Suck it. And if they dont read it, I could give a damn, it's still getting done.

3. Tinting my windows triple black. If you want to see if Im wearing my seatbelt, you better have superman hovering over me or a sledge hammer.

Any other viable suggestions ... have at it. Still want to whine about how "you need to wear your seat belt?" What the hell is wrong with you? Do you smoke? Do you drink? Do you drive while talking on your cell phone? Do you eat a lot of fast food? Yeah, go whine about that to yourself and assert how you'll change tomorrow.

Can someone offer cliff notes?
OP is pissed because he got a ticket for not wearing a seatbelt. Is going to move out of state and get a new license and not pay the ticket because it's none of the state's business.

Why'd it take the OP so long to state what you were capable of doing in two sentences?

I suppose it takes a long time to vocalize irrational thoughts.

You are totally right and hey while you are at it screw the warning labels on medicine, run with scissors, throw sharp objects in the air and catch them, don't use the safety on your gun, pet stray dogs, and let strangers into your home. Fark the man!
If I am willing to accept the consequences for that, that's MY business. It's YOUR business, I should not be fined for running with scissors anymore than I should be fined for not wearing a seat belt. That's the point, but you guys dont get it or dont care or dont something ...

It was the disclaimer before the rant. It through him off.
