The California VC allows police departments to decide whether
to comply with seatbelt laws, they are exempt from the same
law *we* must obey...... 27315.5 of the CVC
I always found that interesting that they would do that, as I
can't see why *not* wearing a belt would be of any advantage.
Even if they need to get out of the car quickly, the belt can
be released in virtually no time before coming to a stop...
I think most citizens are not aware of this, and thus to them
the police are setting a bad example...whihc they *are*.
