Once again we are subjected to a show of force under the guise of seat belt enforcement.. They could sit on 23 north or 18 west every morn and write speeding tickets at will but that would be legit.

Gotta get those quotas! I came back from Bloomington late one night going 75 MPH on Rt 18. No cars! Then a car passed me by and did a quick U-turn. ....... Burned! But it was a "County Mountie" and he let me off w/ a warning.

Pretty much every year, there is a horrific tragedy involving teens not wearing seat belts. As an adult, be the example. Save your kid/grandkids life. It's the law. Buckle up!

If you're not breaking the law why worry? I welcome extra law enforcement. A traffic stop could lead to something else.

Jimb, Are you breaking Illinois laws if your do not have a seat belt on? g Perhaps if YOU were constantly harassed for driving with your seat belt on you might feel a wee bit differently. Jimmy has the stops to prove it. I wonder why a Cop would say he didn't see the belt when it is blatantly obvious, such as a black seat belt on light colored clothes..... They wouldn't be PROFILING now would they?

I have the seat belts buckled up when I wear black clothes How many times have you personally been stopped by the State Police Sniper for not wearing a seat belt? Profiling? g

Ok I can't speak for the state or the county but I can tell you Streator does NOT have a quota, and I am sorry, if you have an issue with the police then apparently you are doing something wrong!

Jimb, Are you breaking Illinois laws if your do not have a seat belt on? g Greek don't feed me that bullcrap.. I don't drive 18 west in the morn because 65 which is speeding is too slow.. And unless I'm wrong the crosses are out there in the ditch for a reason.. This seat belt excuse is not a valid reason to bring cops into town on their off time..Yes they're getting overtime pay to straighten us out folks..

I'm looking at the bigger picture, not because they are handing out tickets for whatever. If we had honest politics here in Illinois we wouldn't be so broke now would we?
