Click-it or ticket returns

Statewide the police will be mounting another massive campaign to force law abiding citizens to wear seat belts.

This is a great example of the "nanny state" that we live in today.

Last year 3125 seat belt violations were issued in Allen County!

According to pat White on Wowo today they want to issue more then 3125 between May 19th and June 3rd.

Is there Anyone who reads this blog who feels that this is the best possible use of our police force?

There are a lot of things that I think our police force could do that would be more useful, consider these ideas:

1. Allen County has almost 7000 outstanding arrest warrants. I would think most citizens would prefer the police apprehend those people who have outstanding arrest warrants rather then ensure that law abiding citizens are wearing their seat belts.

2. A lot of Hoosiers are killed each year in car accidents. I would rather see the police department spend their time ticketing those Hoosiers who drive in a manner dangerous to others.

3. Setup sting operations to apprehend drug dealers who are spending a great deal of time on street corners selling illegal drugs.

These are just a few ideas.

Maybe you have more ideas?
