Kansas City residents are now facing increased seatbelt fines.
In the aftermath, a TKC Social Media friend raised a rather interesting question:
"Is this new seat belt law really about public safety or just an expansion of "probable cause" to search vehicles/pull over people of color/etc?!?!"
By the way and just to keep it real, the etc. also applies to po'folk white people . . . So don't act like this doesn't impact just about everybody or at least should be a cause for a bit of critical thinking . . .
E-Mail From KCPD:
"A new seat belt ordinance was recently passed by the city council that changes our ordinance from a secondary to a primary seat belt law. What that means is that officers no longer need another primary violation (such as speeding, running a stop sign, etc.) to stop a vehicle and issue a UTT if the officer observes that either the driver or any front seat passenger is not wearing a seat belt.
The fine for this violation was also raised from $10 to $50 dollars.
This ordinance was adopted for the safety of our community and to increase compliance."

Easy solution: Wear your seat belt.
ReplyDeleteEverybody wins!
My advise is to keep your seat belt fastened regardless if your driving or not with the way things are going in this city.
ReplyDeleteBe smart. Buckle up.

People of color hate other people of color and will do virtually anything to keep you running around in circles while they steal all your loot! Your colorful assClowncilman recommended the legislation in the first place.
Fuck all of you who posted earlier. You're cowered assholes who deserve this shitty mess that's here and getting bigger by the day. Hope you enjoy the safety of your surveillance world. Pussys.
ReplyDeleteIt's called Revenue Mining.
ReplyDeleteIts too hard to get my pistol out of my baggy-assed pants with a seabelt in the way.
ReplyDeleteMost niggers are too fat to be able to buckle their seat belts. In most cases niggers only use seat belts to keep the KFC, Popeye's or Church's safe til they get home.
ReplyDeleteThey didn't make no damn seatbelts I my damn pickup, I ride free and with no pants.
ReplyDelete6:06 shut up and stick your thumb back in your mouth. Make sure your mama has you buckled in your car seat first.
ReplyDeleteNobody loves N-word guy. His family abandoned him today. He's all alone and lashing out with his insults because of his wasted life.
ReplyDeleteWhich n word guy are you referring to. There are lots of us.
ReplyDeleteTrolley Money
ReplyDeleteIt's a shame that KC is taxing its citizens because our elected officials can't effectively manage the city's resources.

ReplyDeleteSuper dave, hell ya
ReplyDeleteMaybe revenue increaser but probably just typical diversionary tactic...where's the $15k? What practically secret vote they taking now? What don't they want us paying attention to?
ReplyDeleteNext time the city says "we want to pass this bond, it wont cost you anything in increased taxes" ask yourself, where is that money coming from? the bank isnt just handing them money for free, its made up in revenue generated from ticketing, what I dont get is that there was a promise that if the seatbelt law was passed that people would not be pulled over just to check and see if your wearing one, they must have "forgotten" or thought we forgot.
