I don't believe that officers can pull you over for simply not having it on


Depends on the state

Here it is what is called a "Primary Offense" .. In other words you can be pulled for not wearing, or even not wearing correctly, a seatbelt..

Other states it is a "Secondary Offense" and there must be a primary offense that you get pulled for first..

Hey, thanks for that video Fort- I'm gonna have to check it out, I can't really watch it right now, but I definitely will when I get a chance. Thanks a lot


ETA: Thanks semper- I checked wikipedia and it said that its a secondary offense in Ohio. So, he must've thought of something else to pull me over for. I've pretty much heard if they want to pull you over- they will.

And to be honest- I'm not even mad about the ticket- I wasn't wearing my seatbelt- I can live with that. What I didn't appreciate was how much they were trying to intimidate me.

Exactly

And why you should file the complaint

They didn't abuse you, you gave them permission to do everything they did. They didn't try to charge you with anything based on what they found in the car. You simply got a ticket for not wearing a seatbelt.


I want you to know, that I look forward to your first time being abused by a corrupt, psychopathic police officer.

That is probably the only way you'll learn to accept the fact that they do exist; and assuming, of course, that you're capable of any empathy whatsoever yourself, it might also teach you to experience some for others who have suffered such abuse.

The word "abuse" is being so watered down it isn't even funny.


The OP suffered no "abuse"...he is overreacting and being a bit dramatic.

I've been stopped by many cops...most of the time because I was breaking the law (speeding, ran a stop sign, etc.) There have been a few times where I was stopped on some sort of "suspicion"...but I cooperated, gave honest answers, and was on my way within minutes.

I have been more "abused" by cashiers at stores...but do I go around calling all cashiers corrupt and psychopathic??? No...because classifying a whole group on a few bad apples would make myself a bit of a psycopath.

Are there bad cops....for sure...was the cop in the OP a "bad cop"...doesn't sound like it.

I got pulled over for no apparent reason



No seatbelt


He lets me out of the car and then writes me a ticket for not having a seat belt on.


Which is why we have to fight all of the "nanny-state" laws. Even the well-meaning ones, because eventually they just help to erode our rights.

Pulled over for a supposed seat-belt (new law), and then searched without permission or cause, and then find some mysterious sticks and call it a drug, and then find some bullet, which isn't a crime, but all the while his rights were being trampled.

He isn't over-reacting. He should call the station and lodge a complaint for having his rights violated. He has every right to answer his phone, and he didn't belong in the back of the police car, and since he is a delivery driver, he actually suffered financial loss because of this unwarranted stop and search!

Yea, I had a delivery in the car with me, so clearly I'm at work. When he pulled the money and credit card slips out of my pocket he was like "do you always carry this much cash on you when you're delivering?" As if to insinuate that it was "drug" money or something.

Actually in the cop's defense. That is a great cover for a drug dealer, LOL! I used to know folks that delivered that way. I even used to know a mailman that delivered drugs on his route!

We also had a fastfood restaurant here in town that sold it out the drive-through! They had the Burrito, the Super Burrito, and then the "Special Burrito."

The cops were still out of line, but they might have had some reason for their suspicion.

That's some pretty funny stuff lol. I guess my mind doesn't work that way since i'm not involved in that kind of stuff anyway.

Domo- I did check for the bullet and seeds- found neither. The bullet nor a sample of the seeds were ever shown to me and the cop didn't write anything about it on the ticket, so I'm thinking that these were both fabrications. I also asked my sister's fiance what a dog would do if he actually smelled something and he said it would bark, or scratch at the area where he smelled the contraband. The dog did neither, he simply walked around the car then stood there. I'm guessing they were profiling me because the car is in less than perfect condition.
