One bill gives cops the right to stop cars and issue citations for not wearing a seat belt. Just what we need. I know the since 911 we're supposed to look on the police as heroes. Well, I'm sorry, but from my experience over the past 20 years, or so, the cops in Geneva and Saint Charles (IL) make Barney Fife look like Joe Friday. These aren't real cops like Chicago, but overpaid school crossing guards. We hear of cops running into a burning building in New York and they ARE heroes. These guys out here won't get out in the rain to direct traffic. This is just anther excuse to extract money from the taxpayers. If there was any real concern about safety they'd get the Hummers and Escalades off the road where the cars are inherent safety risk for others and the drivers, generally, human garbage.

The other bill had to do with the number of people in the car for a certain period after a teenager obtains a license. Probably not a bad idea, actually, but if anyone thinks this crap is founded in safety concerns, I've got the proverbial swamp property for sale. There are so many things more important and these clowns are screwing with this stuff. Remember, the governor's budget depends on hundreds of thousands of tickets. Coincidence?? (I still have the swamp land!)

I thought this new governor would have a hard time looking bad after the departure of the prior moron, George Ryan, but he's sure made a running start.

Total HORSE STOB!
