Seat belts? Big fuckin deal.
Why don't you read a book about real dictatorships for some much-needed perspective.

You wouldn't know a police state if it came up and tazed you in the ass. Quit bitching.

in a police state, seat belt watches are the LAST thing you'd worry about. i'd be much more concerned about the jail times they dish out for people who smoke and eat plants. 
seriously.

Recently in washington state there is a program obviously for "Night time seat belt watches" and there is advertisemest fear messeges on myspace, all over tv, the radio, and some other forms of media and it really is a way to pull people over and put them in the criminal justice system.. and yes seatbelts probably do save lives. If that person gets into an accident, its probly not because they had a seatbelt on or not and it is choice and common sence to put on your seatbelt.
its your saftey, and its your freedom!
and yes this is America not darfur but its still where i live and i just see this shit happen

its hard for an officer to tell if your'e wearing a seatbelt at night anyways.
daytime it's easy - you can always see the belt over their left shoulder, but at night it wouldn't be as simple i would imagine

Seatbelt laws are a pretty trivial thing to rebel against.
We've had that law in VA for years and for the past 6-7 years it's been an offense you can get pulled over for. I guess it all comes down to if you want to use the roads that they created, then you gotta play by their rules. No big deal for me as I always wear my seatbelt.
Hardly a reason to think of it as a police state and anyone that says so is just plain fucking retarded.
You want a police state, there are probably close to 100 different countries that are MUCH worse than the US. Go there and spend some time and maybe you'll learn that this country isn't so bad compared to others.

The cops, at least around here, have gotten pretty good at seeing if that seat belt is on - even at night.
Then again, it's been the law to wear your seatbelt for a while here.

Once, men turned their thinking over to machines in the hope that this would set them free. But that only permitted other men with machines to enslave them.

Yeah dude, I am definitely not a fan of those civil penalties they enacted. Last I heard a few different district courts were challenging the fines, but I don't think anything has come from it.
It sucks because I'm reguarly accustomed to driving 10-15mph over the speed limit. Now I get all paranoid when I do it. I can't stop either since I'm so used to travelling those speeds I just automatically do it when I don't constantly eye the speedometer.

If they left gets their way it will be. They are forcing private property owners to ban it, taxing it like its their own savings fund and generally inciting discrimination against those who want to keep their civil liberties (ie people who want to smoke).
