"Did you know that this week is seat belt safety week?"

No officer, I didn't.

So I'm turning out of Alberto's Arsenio's after picking up breakfast some strange chorizo burritos because they messed up my order.  Note, I went through the drive-thru, where I have to unbuckle to get at my wallet.  What happens not five seconds after I get on the road?  Two flashing lights: one red, one blue; pop up behind me.

I understand the reason for seat belts.  I do.  But this crap is a scam through and through.  The ticket won't go on to one's record, and even if one wanted to expunge the ticket, it'd cost more to take the damn course then it would to simply pay the sixty dollar fine.  I swear they must have quotas for this shit.

And while I do feel rage, it's not directed at the officer.  It's a job, and they're just the ones stuck with handing out the tickets.  But I swear, if I ever found that paper pusher that thought this shit-brained policy to raise resources was a good idea...

Calm Tom...

Needless to say, I'm incredibly aggravated.  Not even Pepsi and Peanut M&M's are working.
