- How about the seat belt law?

More on that, Mike, what would change in the governor's plan?

- Yeah, so like I said, it's something that road safety advocates have really been asking for for decades, to give the police the power to pull over drivers that they spot not wearing a seat belt.

That's called primary enforcement.

We have secondary enforcement right now, meaning that if you are already stopped, and you're not wearing a seat belt, that results in an additional charge, an additional ticket.

So this would give the police that primary function, to spot somebody not wearing it, pull them over, the way that you would for a, you know, broken tail light or something like that.

It's come up time after time, lawmakers have rejected it every time, it's failed in the process, and one of the big reasons, especially now, that this doesn't seem to maybe have too much purchase, is that giving police any new powers, especially the power to pull over drivers, is just not politically popular right now with Democrats over fears of racial profiling.

Obviously that's a major concern, you know, just fears of giving police any more authority at all is not the moment for it, a lot of people would argue.

You know, a lot of folks fear that police already misuse the power to stop drivers that they already have, and going back to that hands free bill, this issue almost tanked that bill from passing.

There was a lot of opposition to giving police more power because they thought it would increase racial profiling and abuse of power, and that really had to be worked out in some high stakes negotiations before that bill could get passed into law.
