Click It or Ticket
May 24th 2007 01:52
That's the new slogan in Nevada, folks. Click it or ticket. Right. The manditory seat belt law was defeated in the State Assembly last week. We are NOT legally forced to wear seat belts. Right. Then we have the "Click it or Ticket" campaign where you can be pulled over and given a $67.00 ticket if your seat belt isn't on. It should be one way or the other, shouldn't it? We're not mandated to wear the things, but we get a ticket if we don't. Hard as I try, I don't find any logic in it. Either we do have to wear them or we don't. Can't have it both ways... Many, many years ago something similar happened in Calif. In Butte County, cable TV was put before the voters. It was way back when regular channels were the norm and cable was brand new. The voters spoke loud and clear. No manditory cable! By the following month, all the transmitters for regular TV were blocked and if you didn't have cable you didn't watch TV at all. Sort of makes you wonder why they bother to take a vote, doesn't it? Even things people don't want are forced on them anyway.
Does this sound just a bit like the new immigration laws? They're trying to shove it through (finally agreeing to wait until after the Memorial Day weekend to finalize it) without any debate or exposure to the citizens affected. Can they really do that? Yep... remember the IRS...

we to have the "Click It Or To=icket" signs out here in California, one good thing is, that they do enforce them!
Great post!
Take care,
