Illegal Checkpoints & Enforcement

This section is 100% valid. There are 20 or so States in which Seat Belt ENFORCEMENT must be by a secondary violation. States like Colorado plaster "Click It or Ticket" all over billboards, TV, radio, I even saw flyers in the ER at a hospital. All to scare it's citizen's into compliance with the law by fear of getting a ticket if you are not compliant. The fact is you will NOT get a ticket for a seatbelt violation unless you are pulled over for doing something else FIRST, and if you DO get a ticket in a secondary State without a primary violation, you can fight this. However with the government's scare tactics using the campaign's slogan "Click It or Ticket", the general public will not be informed that the ticket it's self may have been illegally issued. It is important that the public be informed. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Lucky225 (talkcontribs) 06:16, 24 June 2010 (UTC)

I'd advise the same to you:

If this is a neutral point of view, then there should be no problem showing that the Click It or Ticket campaign it's self is sponsored by States who otherwise don't enforce their safety belt laws unless there is another violation first, to censor such information takes away a NPOV. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Lucky225 (talkcontribs) 21:16, 27 June 2010 (UTC)

  • Actually this section is not 100% accurate; I'm not sure when it was updated but as of now there are only 18 states with secondary enforcement laws (Kansas passed their law in 2010 and New Hampshire still has no law).

Thanks, Kansas apparently went primary in June of 2010, same time the NPOV argument was being debated, a few others went primary last year, I've cleaned it up and added citations166.84.5.162 (talk) 03:45, 25 April 2012 (UTC)

Massachusetts enacted a primary enforcement seatbelt law several years back. 98.118.98.7 (talk)

Please read WP:NPOV and WP:NOR. Wikipedia is not a publisher of original research and is not an indiscriminate collection of random information. That is, Wikipedia cannot be the first publisher of an original synthesis. If you can't find a single journalist to take up the issue, too bad.
