The other thing that kinda irks me is that they recently passed a statute that if an officer notices you not wearing a seat belt, thats a reason to pull you over. I dont mind wearing mine, they do save lives.
We also don't have a helmet law in MN. The fine for no seatbelt here is about $200 I believe as they consider it a moving violation. You can also get pulled over here strictly for no seatbelt.
I never ever drive without a seatbelt for myself and any passengers I may have, however, it's my business not the governments.
