I know right? That cop risks his life everyday to get called an asshole by some church going hypocrite. To the OP, you got caught. What makes you any more entitled to a break than anyone else? You broke the law. The guy was just doing his job. He did nothing wrong.
I don't look at this as rolling over, yall think what you want. I have front lap belts only on both my truck and this little Valiant I just got, but you can bet I wear them as designed and intended. 253 dollars is strong, but it's strong for a reason. So you won't make that mistake again.
