Yeah, I remember when they enacted the law and said you couldn't be pulled over specifically for that.... Man have times changed.....

Still can't. It's a secondary enforcement in Ohio. But you know they can find any reason at all to pull you over. The new texting law is a secondary also.

Same thing happened to me with a dyke state trooper. 72 in a 65 and wrote me for no seatbelt. I had my seatbelt on when she walked up to the truck because I put it on after I passed and saw her pull out of the median. It took Her 2-3 miles to catch up because of traffic. She did not say a word about it or even ask just handed me a ticket for the no seatbelt and said she would let me off for the speeding.

. One guy in a truck with no seatbelt write him a ticket. 50 kids in a school bus, fuck it it's cool. You can't drive a truck without a seatbelt but you sure as fuck can ride a motorcycle with no helmet. Pigs.

I got a seat belt ticket several years ago, just a few days before Christmas. Thing was, I was coasting through a parking lot at a private gas station and had just taken it off as I was going to grab a coke out of the machine. He supposedly wanted to tell me I had a headlight out.

When he wrote the ticket, he asked if I had any questions. I said "No, but you just ruined a perfect 30 year driving record." He just looked at me and said, "oh, 30 years. Not a bad record." and walked off. I'm still ticked and that's been close to 6 years ago now.

Yep, seatbelt was my only ticket in my 12 years of driving. Been pulled over a couple times with a warning but that's it. Figured it would happen eventually. I do a 100 mile round trip commute daily down the worst cop infested stretch of highway in Ohio. 70 between Dayton and Columbus. Highland county is bad. Logan is the town where they have the peace officers training academy and a state prison. As a bonus they have a section of 70 and 71 in the county. Lots of bacon in that town and they take care of their own funneling money to that community.

To all the cases above where y'all were within 8 mph over limit that didn't have your seat belt on, had you had it on, the pig prolly would have ticketed you for speeding. Fuggars roll like that!

Xbowgirl, that woulda pissed me off to no end!
