INMHO the DOT deal is the same as the seatbelt law. Has NOTHING to do with anything other than ticket revenue for the state or county. The seatbelt deal was the worst I've heard of untill this DOT thing. Both laws are in my opinion an open door for the law to make legal searches. It's sad....I would love to know wich elected officials get up in the morning only to come up with these stupid ideas for new laws.
