Drug Dealers on Pahoa Main Street

[oink]

The seatbelt checkpoints are not directly funded by the Feds. However, seatbelt compliance is tied to the Highway money the Feds give to the States. If compliance drops below some set point the Feds withhold money. Generally it's money the States paid to the Feds through taxes. The Feds then use strong arm tactics to get the States to do what the Feds want if the States want their money back. I would prefer a method where the money stays pit where it is generated at in the first place. Let Hawaii decide what to do with it's own money, or what should have been it's own money. But of course big brother knows best.
