Give that cop and judge what for. This is America still!
I never wear a seat belt - in my car or on an airplane. When I was 16 I was involved in a front end accident where "the belt" saved my handsome face if not my life.
I never drink pasturized milk, I eat my burgers darn near raw, chain smoke non-flitered Camels, don't wash my hands before I eat, never weigh my gun powder charges when reloading and don't even bother to look both way before crossing the street. Safety glasses and hearing protection are for whimps and those that give a darn about what someone else says to them. At ship's general quarters I never dress out, haven't checked my mask for fit, nor bothered to do maintenance on it in three years. I have unprotected sex overseas with as many women as my checkbook allows - which I haven't balanced in close to a year now...

I guess everyone is entitled to an opinion eh?
The above rant is dedicated to my classmate Kevin Burke whose head hit the inside of his window at like 70 miles an hour at age 17 in 1977. He didn't wear belts either and if it was good enough for him, may he rest in peace, it's good enough for me. [;)] I'm not going to let any government tell me what to do!
