Cops are generally good people. It's sad that the federal government has mandated that they act like our parents when we were 6 years old.
"Wear your seatbelt little jonny, or I am going to take away part of your allowance" Decide as an adult not to wear a 1/10th" nylon strap while in a 2 ton vehichle, hefty fine, decide as an adult not to wear a helmet while on an open-air motorcycle, no-fine.
