Re: Seatbelt Ticket

I, for one, was much happier with the way it was before the seat belt laws were passed. The federal government does not have the authority to pass a national seat belt law, but they forced it into existence by threatening to withhold funds from states - funds that they'd already taken from the states.

Are seat belts a good idea? Sure, and I wear mine more often than not. But laws that the federal government cannot pass, but gets passed anyway by forcing it down the states' (and our) throats are, by definition, a bad thing. The ends does not justify the means.

Just like Obamacare...
