It depends on the law of the state in which you are driving. Some states have laws that require that seat belts be used but do not make non-use a violation in and of itself to allow a police officer to stop the driver for that alone. If the driver is stopped for some other offense, like speeding, the driver will get a ticket for not using the seat belt. Other states have laws that make not using a seat belt a violation in and of itself for purposes of allowing a police office to stop the driver. In that case, a driver may be stopped and issued a ticket for not wearing a seat belt even if there is no other violation involved.
