<DIV>Jennifer, to answer your question regarding seat belts: You are
correct. They obviously prevent much suffering and to refuse to use them
as a way to buck the system or show a defiance of authority, is just self
destructive and ignorant.</DIV>

<P class=MsoNormal><FONT face="Times New Roman" color=black size=3><SPAN
style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt; COLOR: black">I hope you are all doing well as we
enter the holiday season. I issued a press release a little over a week
ago alerting the public of our “Click It Don’t Risk It!” seat belt compliance
campaign. I’m happy to say that of the 15 cars I pulled over yesterday,
only one person was not in compliance with <st1:State w:st="on"><st1:place
w:st="on">Idaho</st1:place></st1:State>’s seat belt laws. However, I was
just visited by a friend form the Lewiston Police Department (our partner in
this year’s campaign), and he and I talked about our laws relative to
<st1:State w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Washington</st1:place></st1:State>’s
laws. In <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:State
w:st="on">Idaho</st1:State></st1:place>, an officer must pull a car over for a
“greater” offense (speeding, having a registration sticker in the wrong place,
not having a front plate, etc.) in order to enforce the seat belt laws.
In other words, I cannot pull over a car just because I see a small child
standing up in the back seat—I’d have to have other probable cause to pull
over said vehicle. The <st1:City w:st="on">Lewiston</st1:City> officer
I’ve been working with has spent a lot of time trying to change <st1:place
w:st="on"><st1:State w:st="on">Idaho</st1:State></st1:place>’s laws regarding
seat belt use to: 1. make it a primary offense, and 2. raise the fines so they
are commensurate with other states’ fines for the same. I’ve heard
arguments supporting both sides to this, but I am curious as to what Latah
County’s citizens think about our seat belt laws—whether they are adequate as
they are, if they should change, how they should change, etc. My own
views on seat belt usage have as much to do with how I was raised as they do
with a general aversion to the gruesome scenes I’ve experienced responding to
collisions wherein the passenger(s) were not properly restrained (and having
to notify next of kin). But I also realize that my experience is just
that—mine. What are your thoughts?<o:p></o:p></SPAN></FONT></P>
