: I think this is a legitimate state law and, although annoying, is probably not offensive to the constitution.
: The state has a legitimate right and interest in ping laws to regulate the safety of its citizens. After all, who foots the bill if an uninsured, unseatbelted person is injured in a car accident and taken to the hospital and is unable to pay? The state. Seat belt laws make sense, then, on that ground.
: On the other hand, don't they have anything better to do? I got pulled over recently because the cop thought I didn't have my seatbelt on. That's crap. But still, such laws are only tenuously related to constitutionally guaranteed rights - ie privacy -- and are therefore unlikely to be struck down. The State's interest in regulating safety is high and outweighs our marginal interest in not wearing seatbelts.
: Fight these laws by choosing state lawmakers who aren't busybodys and who worry instead about the real problems.
