Why were the Police on foot and pulling over cars yesterday in Mt. Holly?

It's part of the annual "Click It or Ticket" program intended to encourage drivers and their passengers to comply with seat-belt and child restraint laws.

During the "Click It or Ticket" period more than 97 percent of the New Jersey drivers observed are buckled up. But there are still that few who not only fail to consider their own safety, but endanger their children as well.
In a month or so the state will release the results of the campaign. One of the likely findings is that the grants to the various law enforcement agencies exceed the total revenue derived from the citations issued.
And the societal cost of the avoidable injuries is what's coming out of taxpayers' pockets, not to mention the impact on various insurance premiums.
Can't the paranoid cynics who don't know the difference between "their" and "they're," and "its" and "it's" spare us exposure to their dementia?

Liberal bashing is out of fashion, limited to the shrinking pool of borrow-and-spend Republicans and paranoid Libertarians. But "Extortion" lags behind. He hasn't even caught up with "spellcheck" yet.
The previously used "name" was merely a comment on your post, fool, as the text made clear.

New Jersey was the second state to pass a school bus seat-belt law. There are several reasons why the NHTSB hasn't mandated them on all school buses nationwide, but they are required on the smaller ones. Among the reasons are what's called the "222 seat," which, in its ideal configuration compartmentalizes the passengers in a padded environment. Another reason has to do with the problems associated with children of different sizes. A third has to do with the overall safety record of school buses. There are many more.
Almost all of the revenue from fines for traffic violations goes to the state in New Jersey. The amount that municipalities get to keep doesn't even come close to paying a fair share of the cost of running a municipal court system, much less a police department. And since most citations are paid without a court appearance, there is little revenue from the assessment of "court costs." Municipalities get to keep the fines for most parking violations, but in most places that doesn't amount to much. It is only in certain metered or shore towns that it is a substantial source of revenue.
It really does help if opinionated posters take the trouble to check their facts before potentially misleading others. Next thing you know someone will proclaim that "GLOBAL WARMING IS BALONEY." We smart-asses know it's "BOLOGNA."

Have you ever visited a rehab facility for TBI patients? A large portion of their population is composed of car accident victims; a large portion of THOSE people will tell you two things: 1) They WERE wearing their seatbelts, and 2) They much rather would have died than live a troublesome, depressing, lonely half-life full of struggle and pain. I was employed straight out of high school in such a facility and I haven't voluntarily worn my seatbelt since. I've seen what seatbelts can do and I'd rather die than end up a gork for the rest of my life.
My personal prejudice aside, I think its a bit too 'nanny state' to force me into protecting myself. Do I think children should wear seatbelts? Indeed I do; they don't cause accidents, they are just victims of them, and have to face the consequences of a crash caused by the actions of someone else. The adult, though? Unlike a child whose life has been endangered by the driver, the adult is responsible for what they have done to themselves. Its as stupid in that context to punish people for choosing to risk injury to themselves as it is to declare the act of suicide a crime. What shall we legislate next? Hang gliding? Those triangles are so POINTY! Outlaw plastic surgery altogether? I dont recall Joan Rivers getting tossed in the pokey because of her self-imposed disfigurement, but correct me if I'm wrong. After those resolutions, we'll attack scuba divers (those daredevil bastards!) and the Ice Road Truckers (how dare they?). Oh, and lets not forget my favorite: The Pope. Dude doesnt want to be assassinated, so he gets himself a bulletproof Popemobile. Great job, Pope-y McDontshoot...where to next, Iraq?
You have no problem condeming people now but if we allow them to legislate private behavior today, they may just come for you when they get around to banning something you care about. You'll sing another tune then, I'll bet.
I think it starts out, "Woe is me...."
