I passed a cop today and he instantly u turned... when i saw him turn acouple cars behind me i put on my seatbelt. When flashed his lights to pull me over i had my seatbelt on. The officer told me he had pulled me over because he didn't see my license plate ,( it was in my window, I had been hit and ran so i had no place for it on my front end). He agreed that i did not have a place for the plate and then asked me why i did not have my belt on when i passed him and he gave me a ticket for it.
Here's the thing,
i wasn't going to contest the ticket, but i was reading the seatbelt laws and i found this (i will indicate the area i found interesting.)
(D) Notwithstanding any provision of law to the contrary, no law enforcement officer shall cause an operator of an automobile being operated on any street or highway to stop the automobile for the sole purpose of determining whether a violation of division (B) (RIGHT HERE) <of this section has been or is being committed or for the sole purpose of issuing a ticket, citation, or summons for a violation of that nature or causing the arrest of or commencing a prosecution of a person for a violation of that nature, and no law enforcement officer shall view the interior or visually inspect any automobile being operated on any street or highway for the sole purpose of determining whether a violation of that nature has been or is being committed. >
so could i win a contest?
