Here's an Idea...

Just recently we were pulled over by a state trooper that can't admit that he is/was wrong.

We were cited with not wearing our seat belt and we were. We were even wearing it as he came up to the cab of the truck and did a double take, but still gave us a ticket.

Not only that, but we were working and driving 5 miles an hour under the speed limit, in the right lane with people passing us like we were standing still and yet this SOB still pulled us over for a FKN SEATBELT...

See, they have to give you a ticket if they pull you over for not wearing your seat belt regardless if you were wearing it or not because if they don't, they'll get in trouble by their Sergeant.

...waaaaaa...

He knows he was wrong, and we showed him why he was wrong and he just looked at us like a deer caught in headlights, put his head down looked to the right while he lied and wrote us up anyway.

We are currently getting a subpoena to have the cameras that are on the bridge we passed that we drove under and would have got a perfect shot of us to prove this ..... wrong.

"It is estimated that there are around one hundred and ninety-six million drivers in the United States today. Knowing how many seat belt tickets are issued each year out of the twenty-five to fifty million traffic citations given yearly is difficult to calculate. But according to many insurance sites they believe that about half that, or twelve million to twenty-five million a year."

Typically it's 50 dollars or less in most states, but Washington is 3rd at 136.00, Texas is the Highest around 200.00 or more and LA is second highest around 150.00 or more.

However, we digress and we always try to find the positive in things and we have found one :-)

...must see good in bad...must see good in bad...must see good in bad...must see good in bad...

Currently cars have a nagware software that beeps at you that tells you that your seatbelt is not on, but this is not effective because you can turn this off...you probably didn't know that ;-)

Though with this disable feature it takes the plausible deniability element out of the cliché rebuttal, "gee, I didn't know"...

Now fast forward...what if the Car wouldn't start unless the Seat belt wasn't fastened? This would make Click it Ticket Traps a thing of the past due to this feature.

cannedrebuttal: What if the seatbelt glitches out and you can't fasten it or it won't engage, no problem, their is an override, but an error light will stay lit until the problem is fixed. This way the officer could see that the seatbelt has an error and could give the driver a 5 day warning to get it fixed.

We hope you get the idea because we can't write about it anymore because we're getting pissed off again...

**UPDATE**

Well come to find out the Cameras that are on the Highways don't record, they are only used for taking time stamps for your Weather Girls to report how the traffic is flowing :-D

Unbelievable, millions of Tax Payers dollars used for 25.00 dollar cameras and a subscription to snap chat :-(

So here is a scenario, let's say that your Child or Grandchild is hit with a  Felony Hit and run...

The result is death, but the culprit skips the scene and is never found...no closure for you and no justice, thanks a lot State of Whatever!

In town isn't any better and 9 times out of ten it's the 250.00 DVR Camera setup that some business uses to protect their premises that are used to catch criminals.

Now there are some cameras that allow people to connect to for sight seeing which are fun, but not very useful in an Emergency Situation.

Oh there is that per chance that someone was looking in the camera the same time something happened, but now you need to establish credibility on the person, if you can find them.

Cameras in the 80's used to cost 5,000 dollars and half of the cost was the enclosure that encased the camera itself.

Nowadays you can buy a camera for 500.00 or less with superior quality and better than that 80's camera wannabe.

Nope, it's just another way to justify 6 figure salaries for Officials that build Homeless Encampments next to Liquor Stores, Bars, Marijuana Dispensaries, Small Family homes and Small Family businesses while they go and cut the ribbon on some Wine Opening with the Uber Rich, where of course they would NEVER build an encampment next to...


**UPDATE**

The Cop ended up being pretty cool, thanks :-)
