hancoveguy,
I'm confused. You say, "If they cared about the safety of the motoring public they would strengthen the existing OUI laws but they don't, ..." in reference to the state legislature. It would seem as though you are dissing the lawmakers for not caring about the safety of the motoring public, right?
Yet, you refuse to wear a seatbelt, even though you say that in your experience you think they are a good idea. You care about your own safety and the people riding with you, right? If you get into an accident, wouldn't you want to be in a position to help your loved ones/passengers if they were hurt? Wouldn't your chances of being able to help them increase if you were wearing a seat belt?
In my opinion, you are respected as a police officer and should think about setting a more positive example, at least in a public forum.
