My young adult children were out today celebrating the men's hockey win at the Olympics. Waving their Canadian flags as the back seat passengers in their friends car. Passed another car of supporters also celebrating. One of the back seat passengers leaned out the back window to wave to the other supporters. Police pulled over the vehicle and issued a $240 ticket for not wearing a seat belt ! Give me a break ! 
Celebrating Canada's Gold Medal today, Got a seatbelt ticket
Re: Celebrating Canada's Gold Medal today, Got a seatbelt ti

It's either dangerous or it's not.
Former Ontario Police Officer. Advice will become less relevant as the time goes by !

You live in a nanny state, why would you be incredulous to a police officer doing the job that you pay them to do?

Pursuit rating of non-domestic vehicles
Are any non-domestic vehicles "pursuit-rated" in North America? Also have the Michigan State Police (this is relevant because apparently they have the most accepted selection/testing process) tested any of them to see if they meet their criteria? Just curious...
