Here in MO, it is considered an "equipment violation" and no points are
involved. Also, the seat belt cannot be the reason for the stop. There must
be another violation involved, such as a tail light out, speeding, etc. Then
they may cite you for the lack of wearing the belt.
That being said, if they see you without the belt, it attracts attention to
you, and they can usually find some kind of violation.
Right now they are running a "Click It or Ticket" campaign-they are looking
for people not wearing belts, and if they see you without one, they will
watch for something.
Personally, I don't know what the big deal is. Kind of like helmets on
motorcycles. I don't agree with more laws from Big Brother, but can anyone
honestly justify not using either?
