JUSTICE SCHMIDT, specially concurring: For the reasons set forth in my special concurrence in People v. Johnson, 356 Ill. App. 3d 208, 825 N.E.2d 765 (2005), I concur notwithstanding the fact that I disagree with the analysis here. I would prefer to affirm the trial court. There is not even a hint that any error involving the electronic security belt prejudiced the defendant or otherwise contributed to his conviction. There being no prejudice and no argument that the evidence was closely balanced, plain error analysis is inappropriate. People v. Crutchfield, 353 Ill. App. 3d 1014, 820 N.E.2d 507 (2004); People v. DuPree, 353 Ill. App. 3d 1037, 820 N.E.2d 560 (2004).
