MARK IS BACK.....AND DISAGREEING WITH MATT????
The booster seat law is not a good bill. The booster seat law is merely another attempt at revenue enhancement and another means to go snooping for traffic stops. Remember how it started with sobriety check points? How many drunks did we stop? A handful...what we ended up with more were other traffic violations and nonmoving violations that brought cash to the coffers of counties and the state municipalities....That is what this law is. It goes along with the seat belt law, the helmet law, and other laws designed not really to protect us or the children, but as a means of revenue enhancement. This gives police yet another excuse for harassment and a means to engage in revenue gouging as in checkpoints. Look at how sobriety checkpoints have evolved, and now we have seat belt checkpoints....What next? Your papers, please....and what are you hiding? I am all for child safety and such, but mandates such as this with the fines and the open door to go snooping are just a manner of increasing revenue and costing freedom.
