Seat Belt tickets and the way they are given out. I have never received a ticket that I did not deserve until yesterday afternoon. I was driving through Coppell Tx. and was pulled over. The ticketing officer told me another officer saw me down the road and "I was not wearing a seat belt". I tried to explain to the officer that my truck beeps constantly when I do not wear a seat belt and he just ignored me. Even though I was clearly wearing the seat belt when I was pulled over the officer was not interested in my comments. I did see the officer “Spotting People” but I thought it was just some strange guy trying the cross the road in rush hour traffic since he was not in uniform. I was traveling at 40 miles an hour in rush hour traffic with tinted windows. I drive a F250 crew cab and the seat belt mounts are very low and the seat belt itself is the exact same color as my interior. I can only assume that he was guessing that I did not have it on. The reason for this post is to warn anyone traveling through Coppell put your windows down and make sure your seat belt is very visible so this does not happen to you. I think I am going to put Lights on mine so he can see it next time.
