The seatbelt isn't the point. The point is the government forcing you, fining you, stopping you, because you didn't put it on.
I don't need the government to tell me to put my seatbelt on. I'm smart enough to do it on my own.
When the government can detain you with an armed official and then cite you, haul you into court and force you to pay for not putting on a seatbelt....you're not in a free country.
