NH adult seat belt law, supported by NH State Police

I don't know of any article in the NH Constitution that protects us from ''government intrusion''.

[Art.] 2-b. [Right of Privacy.] An individual's right to live free from governmental intrusion in private or personal information is natural, essential, and inherent.

Pretty clear don’t you think…

If we were talking about information.

His stated positions tend to give away that this is a very loosely held principle.

After all I've read in this thread I ask the following.

What is so freaking difficult about fastening your seatbelt? I mean, it doesn't hurt. It's not hard to do. It isn't inconvenient.

Law or no law, why wouldn't everyone simply fasten their seatbelt to give themselves significantly better odds of survival in an accident? I suppose one could say they are preserving their pride by 'sticking up for their rights' but the potential end result would bring nothing but heartbreak to loved ones and friends.

Free will. No justification needed. Difficulty and convenience and pain/no pain and or pridefulness are not the litmus tests. The potential consequences of decisions is a related matter for sure, but that’s for individuals to consider and not for the government to intrude in.
