:iagree:

Seatbelt tickets are about revenue and fishing expeditions.

To the OP...sounds like a great encounter.

This morning I was following a pickup truck that had four men in the bed.
Two were sitting on the top of the tool chest and could have easily fallen out.
I was wondering if they would get pulled over.

But, wanted to brag on the Austin Police officer who pulled me over. I rolled down all the windows, hands on wheel, and had my license and LTC out and ready for him. 9mm on my hip. I handed him both licenses, and he immediately handed back the LTC, without even questioning whether or not I was armed.

He was kind, professional, and non-confrontational. The entire stop lasted probably 3 minutes.

That's the way it's supposed to go! :thumbs2:
:iagree: Buckle Up! :mrgreen:
