I know we have a seat-belt law in this state. However, I believe it should be enforced when a motorist is pulled over for another offense. Graves says that he is concerned for motorist safety. Personally, I do wear my seat belt and my young children are always in their safety seats. I believe that motorists should be ticketed on sight when a child isn't properly restrained.
Children are too young to have the responsibility for their own safety.
However, adults should be able to make this decision for themselves, as they have the decision to smoke or drink. If Graves is so concerned about motorists' safety, then he may next outlaw cell-phone use, car radios, and eating and drinking on the run. These habits promote driver distraction behind the wheel. If police pull us over for not wearing seat belts, it will provide them an excuse to randomly select innocent people for searches. Their concern for our safety suddenly will seem like entrapment.
