Not legally, but they do illegally. I have a disability which prevents me from wearing a seat belt. I have an exemption which allows me 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. Please watch my video on YouTube called "Seat Belt Stops Are Unlawful" and help me end these violations of constitutional rights.

Answer 2: Yes, the police can stop you for not wearing a seatbelt, and it is entirely legal and constitutional for them to do so. Except for special circumstances, it is illegal not to wear a seat belt.
