SEAT BELTS: Example of enforcement

| August 21, 2020 1:00 AM

As stated by Max Mohr, I.S.P. on Aug. 13, “Seat belts are the quickest and best way to save a life…” The life you save would likely be your own.

My opinion — your own choice. Wearing a mask could be just as life-saving, maybe your own — your choice. But maybe my wife, your mother or father or kids or “anybody” on the street.

Seat belts and masks are both mandates. Does the chief of police, sheriff or the neighborhood cop get to choose which law they enforce? I think not! Both life-threatening in their own way.
