HELP A COP

[shatto]

So......I asked.

A California Highway Patrol was taking a report at the Post Office I had dropped mail at, so I asked if he had a minute and he said he did so I asked if there was an email address or any other way to report police officers who didn't obey the seat-belt laws, noting that I never see a CHP not wearing their belt and almost never see the local police using theirs.
He said; "That's because we are exempt." and explained how most consider getting hung-up in the belt too risky if they need to make a hasty exit of the car for one or another reason. He said CHP chose to use their belts for safety reasons and thought other officers nuts for not using them, but they didn't have to.
I told him I'd have to find something else to be angry about. And we parted buddies.

Here is the deal;

Invent a plastic or leather or kevlar or something shield that would fit between the safety belt and the officer and his.....or her gear, so the belt will not catch on anything when being removed.

Seriously. I have the impression that cops fear entanglement in the belt but would prefer to wear it.
Let's try to help.

I am confused as to what your issue is.... are you losing sleep at night because a police officer is not wearing his seat belt because he choose not to and is not safe or are you pissed that the police officer doesn't have to wear a belt but you have to???

Why do you care? If you don't want to wear your belt... don't, and buckle it when a cop rolls by, if you do then wear it... who cares what the cop does, its their life not yours.

No, you can look for something I didn't say. Knock yourselves out.

Most are exempt

However, most department's have a policy indicating it must be worn, just to cover the town/city for liability
