Wearing a seatbelt is generally a good idea. ...generally.
One thing missed by the seatbelt zealots is that driving habits change (for the safer) when people feel less secure (in the vehicle) There are plenty of studies to show that people take bigger chances when they feel more protected. (study of the obvious, I know)
This crack-down on non-seatbelt wearers is a sham. I wouldn't mind if the cops just nap people jack-assing it up (while not wearing) but this zero tolerance crap is as stupid as the school which strip-searched a 12y/o in search of (school contraban) ibuprophen ...in her underwear! (not found)
