Like I said, I understand the arguments for seat belt laws. What makes them a little shaky is we&#x27;re again picking an arbitrary thing to police. All kinds of things that I can legally do also take money out of your pocket, including many of the things listed above. Motorcycles are a great example in the same niche. In my state we don&#x27;t even have to wear helmets, it&#x27;s our choice. I&#x27;m guessing the average consequence is a lot greater than skipping a seat belt.<p>We&#x27;ve picked seat belts as the one to police, probably to give a lot more leeway to police to pull people over and generate income.<p>Anyway, you say society has the right, and I&#x27;m not sure I agree, at least in the seat belt example. They have the power, sure, but I don&#x27;t think they (ought to) have the right.
