Seatbelts
clickit or ticket
The laws of the State of Florida have changed especially for a Dade traffic citation, Broward traffic citation, or Palm Beach traffic citation in that the police can stop you if they simple see you not wearing your seatbelt.
How does this affect you? If the police have a reason to stop you, such as a seat belt violation, then they can use this to piggyback anything else they want. For example, if the police then smell some pot, then he can search your car. If you license is suspended, he can now take you to jail. The law used to be that the police needed something else besides a simple seatbelt violation to pull you over.
The heart of the matter is to wear your seatbelt so they don’t have a reason to pull you over. If you are stopped for this, then call Phillip Menditto if you receive a Dade traffic citation, Broward traffic citation, or Palm Beach traffic citation. DO NOT PAY THE TICKET. This will affect your insurance rates most assuredly.
