Thing is, I WAS wearing my seatbelt. My sin that day? Having Pennsylvania license plates and wanting to take scenic 96 home instead of the thruway. Seneca County sheriffs eventually got theirs, but I cringe at these blatant money making schemes. I seriously doubt they really care whether we strap in or not.

Stop your car, say hello...let them look in your car. What's the big deal. I totally disagree that this would distance law enforcement officers from the people they serve.

That being said this is just one more inconvenience and will accomplish little and will cost precious gas. This also seems like search w/o reasonable/probable cause. It seems like there would be more constructive things for them to do. Everyone in my car wears seatbelts and anyone with a lick of common sense wears them.

If a positive attitude is to be derived, perhaps the law enforcement officers should be setting up "spot checks" on the progress of the construction. I think Ridge Road in Greece has been redone at least 5 times already. Gravy indeed.

We should love and respect them not fear and avoid them. This only serves as a way to distance people from law enforcement officers. We should love and respect them not fear and avoid them.
