        It looks more like corruption and unnecessary punishments.

        But why even draw the line there? Why not multiply the fines for each person without a seatbelt? 3 People without a seatbelt when the normal fine is €50? Sure lets triple that, and then give each of those 3 people a €150 fine. You know what? Let’s multiply it by every person that has already been fined before.

        Stupid police states and their delusional “keeping you safe by taking away your money and drivers license”. What an absolute dystopian joke.

          I am the last person to defend cops, and you can easily confirm that by going through my posting history. But seatbelts? Shut the fuck up and put on your fucking seatbelt.

              Fine the driver for driving and fine the passenger for not putting on a seatbelt.

                Exactly. Both the driver and the passenger (particularly if the passenger also has a license) should know better; both are at fault

                    It’s a wrong comparison because you’re implying a traffic violation is a criminal offense, but it’s not. A traffic violation is a civil infraction. You can’t put them under the same umbrella without making it sound dystopian.
