I just got back from a trip. While visiting reletives I read where the State of New York does not have enough money to fix the roads but is spening 30 million on setting up seat belt check point s to check for seat belt use. I went throught one of these check points and there were three police officers setting up a road block to check to see if people were using seat belts. What a waste, as they people approched the officers they had pleanty of time to buckle up. What a waste of money.

It's better to waste money to (not) enforce a useless law than to actually use the money wisely.

30 million?!! for a couple of officers and a couple of those wooden stand thingys with the reflector strips on it? and maybe a STOP HERE sign. lol how pathetic!
it is truely astounding what our government considers as "appropriate spending"!!
quite a bit of it seems to defy any logic completly!
