A seat belt is designed to slow the rate of acceleration experienced by a person in a car crash, by absorbing the force gradually instead of extremely quickly (as would occur if the person hit the front of the car). This lowers the chance of major injuries happening.
Seat belt laws require that the belt be worn as designed. If you were not wearing the belt properly, you committed a violation.

If they see you not wearing it, they can write the ticket. Prior to 2004, police first needed another reason to stop you (i.e. seat belts were a secondary violation). That law was changed and now anytime you are on the road without your seatbelt on (properly worn with shoulder belt across shoulder and not under arm) you may stopped and ticketed.
