leatherhead of Waterville, ME Bill, Unfortunate you did not see the BS people were slinging before they cleaned the 37 posts off, and they were not blaming the transportation dept. or the state, they were blaming the Police. And Mr. Miller, I have seen you get pulled over by the Police, You should thank FPD for not throwing you in jail for threatening the officer doing his job as you did. Not very polite.report abuse

Bill Miller of Fairfield, ME leatherhead;
You are the one that needs to grow up.
Nobody , in any of these posts is Blaming the Police for doing their jobs. What people are complaining about is the STATE LEGISLATURE and the STATE DEPT OF TRANSPORTATION. If this seat belt law were really for safety, AS IN SO MANY OTHER CASES there wouldn't be any monetary fines, for infractions. There might be license suspensions, or registration suspensions, but if there were no revenue issues these laws and rules would never be ENFORCED.The Police are only following orders from the government.report abuse

SO JUVINILE. FOR CHRIST SAKES GROW UP.report abuse

chromedome of China, ME I wonder how many deaths are going to happen because people are struggling to find and put on a seat belt after getting up to speed and are not paying attention to the car and the road. Some people will kill themselves or someone else trying to avoid getting an over priced ticket.

Lets face it, education is the only safe way to get people to wear seat belts, not a heavy handed, police imposed, tax enhancing, government intrusive, transparent law. The only thing the law is enforcing is having the belt over the shoulder, it’s impossible for an officer to tell for sure if it is buckled or not.

Police are exempt from the law, they, like us, may have to get out of their vehicle quicklyreport abuse
