No, Bartley, that's too close to home.

Butbutbutbutbut our health insurance premiums will go through the roof without seatbelt laws! What a load of manure. Anyone who's been paying attention to the health care crisis knows that uninsured crashes are about 0.0001% of the country's medical expense.

Not if those injured by not wearing seatbelts are declared organ donors at the hospital.  Health costs might even go down.

California tax collectors at work again, raking in that cash.

Let us not forget a little child from this county might be alive today had he been buckled in when the car got into an accident down south just a few days ago. Risk your own lives if you like to call it "freedom", but stop putting the children in danger by not belting them in.

You guys are making some pretty ridiculous statements. As the son of a BPD I know that operations like this are important to the officers themselves who see horrific things every day -- not for saving the life of an adult with poor judgement, but the life of their unbuckled child or children.

Hopefully these operations will result in the parents being more responsible... Even saving the life of one child is worth it.

If you think these are ridiculous statements. You should read the Gov. Sanford posts. Ha Ha ha

It might seem like a waste of money to many, but I would suggest some of you doing a ride along with Hall ambulance, BPD, KC Sheriff, City Fire, or Kern County Fire. Keep doing it until you get that call with the idiot who did not buckle up and now half his head is out his windeshield and the other half is still in the car.

You can volunteer to figure out where the hell the skin from his face went, or even hold the top of his head while the Fire dept and the coroner's office pry his body out from the windshield so that his head doesn't roll off into the dirt.

Don't worry it won't take too long to get that call. They happen all the time.
