Now, you just ask that officer, in front of the judge, "When you pulled me over, was it because you noticed I wasn't wearing a seatbelt?" When he answers "yes", you get to turn to the judge and tell him that that's legal in your state! (Or you can just pay the $25 fine and not have to spend a day in the courtroom!!!!)
