Every time l take my Z-28 out l get nailed for not wearing a seatbelt. They take points from your Drivers license here in Ontario, so l automatically fight it. Well it cost me $500 everytime l go to court, so l get my lawyer to put them off until late fall so l get my moneys worth.
Anyways l've beat every seatbelt ticket, around 10 or 12 over 3 years until it got around l assume because l haven't had seatbelt ticket with that car for the pass 2 years. An talk about pissed off cops at court, l even had one follow me around town after court trying to get me for something, l seen him so l took every little back street home. How l beat them in court was simple l took 3 pictures, rearview, side view and front view, and even the judge could not tell if my 6'3" fat *ss was wearing a seatbelt or not in the pictures, then l showed a video of me wearing it from front, side an rear.
I guess the point is if the judge looks at it as the $145 ticket verses the lawyer cost, who would spend the money to fight it if they weren't wearing it.
My lawyer firm is Points its all they deal with is traffic stuff and even he said he beats every seatbelt ticket. As Pontiac said he took it off to get his wallet. For me l don't even move once pulled over, Niagara cops are really crooked!!
You must have some chicken sh*t cops in your neck of the woods, with nothing better to do than scan the horizon for those freedom seeking, seatbelt felons. It's a sign of the times. It's true for everywhere. They're not allowed to go after the frequent criminals because it could cost them their job, and their job is all about their paycheck. Nobody is looking out for us, but the criminals have many, many, social groups to speak up for, and defend them.
