ORIGINAL: JerseyKrissi72 I totally forgot that about 2 months ago I got a ticket for not wearing my seatbelt, and I was only a passenger in a car...I feel it should be MY decision whether or not to wear a seatbelt, after all--it's MY life, right? As far as children are concerned, they should have to be wearing seat belts at all times...The ticket was like $45.00 of course I ignored it...then forgot about it lol...now I got a warrant out for my arrest unless i pay $80.00 so I guess it's time I give the state of New Jersey their Christmas gift.....seatbelts, do you think it should be YOUR decision whether or not to wear them? Dear Fugitive, Seat belts are supposed to save lives, and motorcycle helmets are also supposed to save lives. There is research to demonstrate and support both the wearing and the not wearing of each. I think it is a political football, and it will be passed here, there,and everywhere. I think it should be my decision to wear whatever personal protective equipment I deem necessary for the activity at hand. That the various levels of government have gotten involved seems to be less in the public interest as it is in the public coffers interest. It makes money, and that is what drives our government and economy. I wear seat belt and helmet when required by law, just to avoid enriching the Governmental Coffers. Those already get too much of what I work for. As a side-note, I'd love to be the arresting officer in your case. I think you would look so wonderful in handcuffs. (wide evil grin) C/
