Things like that vary from state to state. I think the official
terminology for it is primary and secondary enforcement. For example,
here in NY, it is a law that you must wear your seat belt, but it was
a secondary enforcment item; they couldn't pull you over just for not
wearing your seat belt. However, if they pulled you over for something
else; driving erratically or having an expired inspection sticker, for
example, and they noticed you weren't wearing your seat belt, they could
then go ahead and ticket you for the seat belt as well. I believe that
law was just recently changed here though so the seat belt is now a
primary enforcement item.
