Re: What next, jaywalking?

I guess the way I look at it is that if I want to be a moron by not wearing a seatbelt, I am only hurting myself. However, people who excessively speed and drive dangerously are harming others. That is where I would rather the police focus their energies.

Except when you get seriously injured because you weren't wearing your seatbelt (assuming you would have been OK if you were). Then, insurance premiums for all of us go up.
Anyways though, this is the same argument that can be made for legalizing drugs or assisted suicide.
