This is another one of those apparently pithy observations that actually means nothing. It's a motorcycle cop enforcing a law that has been proven to reduce injury and death in automobiles. So what. Or is OP suggesting that motorcycles should be outlawed because they don't have seat belts?
Years ago some politician was actually pushing for seat belts on motorcycles, never realizing how stupid he was.
our government fucking hates bikers and finds something new to slap on us every couple of years. For a while, they wanted to force manufacturers to put license plates on the front mudguard..... which would instantly kill you if you go over the bars. then they used our TAC fee that goes to 'motorcycling infrastructure' to build bicycle lanes in the city, and chain link road dividers that decapitate motorcyclists.
They hate bikers in the states too. I used to get so many lunatics trying to block me from lane splitting. They don't realize the more bikers splitting traffic the less cars on the road and thus less traffic overall. They're just pissed cause they can't grab life by the balls like bikers do.
the point is the hypocrisy. If saftey is so important on the road, then yes, all motorcycles should be banned on the road, police ones included. If not; then car drivers should be allowed to not wear a seatbelt and assume the same risk of bodily harm motorcyclists take.
and there certainly shouldn't be a fee for not wearing a seatbelt. It's like when there were anti lockdown protests at the beginning of the lockdowns, and the police at the protests weren't wearing masks. it showed that the masks were bs from the start.
theyre trained professionals.
youre not.
You are a dumb nigger.
Not all motor cyclists are...and not all police are either.
