    Default What Evidence Can a Cop Have That Proves You Werent Wearing a Seatbelt in Maine

    My question involves a traffic ticket from the state of: Maine I was driving in the rear driver side passenger seat and a cop pulled over the driver for doing 50 in a 35 and gave him a warning and gave me a ticket for seventy dollars because he said i wasn't wearing my seat belt. I am contesting and wonder if my argument is valid.

    Was the seatbelt ticket his was of cutting you a break (instead of giving you a speeding ticket)?

    Which seat where you in? Rear driver's side passenger what? How can you drive a car if you're not in the driver's seat? (or front passenger seat if you are a rural mail carrier)?

    I think the OP meant he was "riding" as opposed to "driving"...

    haffy09, usually, the officer's testimony that he/she saw you not wearing a seat belt is usually sufficient evidence that a violation was committed. They don't need pictures or any other evidence to satisfy the court. So it is highly unlikely that your so called "argument" that you were wearing it will get you out of the ticket.
