seat belt/probable cause/regardless of what you heard: read up on it

[senor honda]

Folks, I asked this question to someone in law enforcement to clarify
a question/misconception of people who don't read the laws.........-Bob

Re: legal question
I am in Florida, and as far as probable cause for a seat belt stop..here it is a secondary offense, meaning you would need to break some other violation in order to stopped..

thats great but a cop can find some other non secondary bullshit law to pull you over and then fine you for not having a seatbelt. He can pull you over for going 1mph over the speed limit and then get you for seatbelt.
