Why is not wearing a seatbelt illegal?
Actually it is illegal in all states except for adults in New Hampshire. The big question is whether the officers can stop you for simply not wearing a seatbelt. About half of the states with seatbelt laws have primary offense rule, one in which an officer can stop you if he sees that you are not wearing a seatbelt. Other states mandate that another offense must've been committed for the officer to stop you, in which event to give you a ticket for not wearing a seatbelt. In either case, failure to wear a seatbelt is not a moving violation. If a person has a disability which prevents them from wearing a seat belt, they can get an exemption which allows them to not have to wear a seat belt. Police officers should not stop people who are not wearing a seat belt because they don't know whether the person is breaking the law or not. Seat belt stops are unlawful and cause violations of constitutional rights.
