I see what you are driving at and I agree, the laws do get abused. I think though, you may be slightly misunderstanding my point: Wearing a seatbelt doesn't significantly reduce your freedom in any real way. It's not hard to comply with the law, it doesn't cost you time or money and it doesn't effect any of our other freedoms significantly. To your point though: NOT wearing your belt is something that can land you in situations that put you at risk of abuse to your freedoms.

>Wearing a seatbelt doesn't significantly reduce your freedom in any real way. I agree. I wear my seat belt. I think it is foolish not to do so. I also think it is a driver's right to decide that; and that a driver's failure to wear the seat belt does not harm others in any appreciable way. It's also not a requirement to fail to wear your seat belt in order for an officer to stop you, s/he only needs to fail to notice your seat belt.
