in my opinion its always best just to be honest....why lie? man up, be straight forward and pay the price for admission. i always have and have been let off more than given a ticket (in Alaska). my last ticket was on Maui for not wearing a seat belt. id been house sitting for 3 months and not once wore the belt. i was on my way to the post office and saw the cop ticketing a white guy and the cop stared me down, i was wondering what that was all about. after getting out of the post office and heading back here comes the lights.he asked the question "do you know why i pulled you over?" i said no. he said your not wearing a seat belt and i responded i never saw a sign saying click it or ticket, i should have known it was a law. ive talk to 1/2 dozon cops while in my car and no one ever said to buckle up. i told the cop this and he said oh well. and about no signs there is one at the airport...i was told 98% of the people on Maui buckle up. while waiting for him to write the ticket i saw about 8 locals drive by with no seat belt not to mention people riding in the back of pickups..when i asked about riding in back of trucks he joked and said we say to only put the kids you dont love in the back. i still wonder why only 2 white boys got pulled over.... peace
