Yep, I would be. I had a good friend who was taking her kids to school and they weren't seatbelted in. One child was nearly killed and the accident was NOT her fault - they still sited her for failure to seatbelt. Can't change the rules just cause he's the governor. He should have the higher standard.

Is NJ a state that requires the use of a seat belt? If so, they are not exempt from the law, however, politics play a key role in various situations. I stopped a Mayor, a few years ago for a DUI, but because of the politics he never went to court, but the people of the city were outraged. Needless to say he was not re-elected. He has been convited of 2 DUI's since then.

Should legislators be exempt from traffic laws also?
I know my own state has an ancient law from back in the days where legislators riding horseback to the capitol "..were not to be hindered from proceeding to session.." which continues to this day. The law was to prevent those "sheriff's" with opposing views to prevent legislators from getting to the capitol.
Sadly, having personally stopped a few of these folks, a legislator ID card is flashed and they are allowed to proceed.
As an officer, I find this repulsive that this law continues today, and that politics prevents equal treatment as a whole.
Best wishes!
