mickeymSo, Kentucky. We have the seatbelt law, it's a primary offense (or however it's referred to -- meaning cops can pull you over solely for not wearing it, they don't have to get you for something else first).
Manufacturing/transporting of moonshine are illegal. Possession of moonshine is illegal, too, so far as I know.
So say you're a fine, upstanding citizen of Kentucky who manufactures and sells for profit, said moonshine. (Which I'm not judging, btw -- if you want to, have at it.) You have the moonshine in your vehicle, pretty much out in plain sight if anyone wanders close enough to your car.
Why on EARTH would you take this vehicle filled with an illegal substance -- in plain sight, no less -- and get behind the wheel and NOT FASTEN YOUR DAMN SEATBELT??
Seriously. If you know you're doing something that's against the law to begin with, why make it easy on the cops by doing something stupid that's also illegal (and easily preventable), like speed, not wear your seatbelt, text, whatever.
I do NOT get it.
