- brazzy 17y agoAnd if the penal code made people not kill and rob and steal, prisons would be empty? Compliance to laws is not an all-or-nothing thing, and the statistics clearly show a massive increase in compliance after the enactment of seat-belt laws.

Let me know when someone gets convicted of a seatbelt violation after the extensive use of forensic evidence, victim testimony, and a statewide manhunt. Let me know when a police officer sweats a confession out of someone that ey didn't wear a seatbelt. Let me know when police offer a reward for information leading to the conviction of someone who failed to wear a seatbelt. At that point, your apples will then become oranges.
