The seat belt situation here in thestate of Ohio. Of course, you
have to be wearing your seat beltwhen you get pulled over, because that
is the law. Clickt or ticket. I think we've all seen that advertisement.
We've all seen that campaign over andover and over. Click it or
ticket. Now they're talking about makingit a primary offense, which would mean
(00:23):
if an officer observes you not wearinga seat belt as you are driving,
they would be able to pull youover just for that. As it stands
right now, it's a secondary offense, which means they can't pull you over
for just observing you not wearing aseat belt as you drive by. So
(00:43):
I don't know where that's going toend up. I think if our governor
has anything to do with it,it will end up being a primary offense
because he would like to. Ithink, I don't want to put words
in this bug, but I'm prettysure he's for that. He is all
for that, talking to Chuck aboutit last week, and I brought it
up to Chuck Dougley, like wewere just kind of having the conversation,
(01:04):
and he started telling me a storyabout how he and somebody he was with
got pulled over. Neither had seatbelts on, and so the person who
was with him not wearing a seatbelt ended up getting a ticket. They
asked him, and I don't rememberexactly what he said. I don't even
(01:26):
know. I think he's here inthe building somewhere, and I don't know
if he happens to be. Hemay or may not be listening right this
second. I don't know what he'sgot going on, but basically, i'll
summarize. Basically, he was pointingout to them that every time he would
turn his head that the seat beltwas I believe part of it was like
part of a blind type spot theway that he had because he used to
(01:49):
weigh a whole lot more, andhe said it was incredibly uncomfortable being as
large as he was, and youknow, he just started pointing out these
things. I think it was atrooper that had pulled him over, and
they they literally let him go.They told him, they were like,
okay, that's gonna the person withhim did not have a seat belt on.
(02:10):
They got a ticket. He didnot get a ticket. And I
can't remember if he told me hewas driving or if he was in the
passenger seat, but I just knowthat you got two people neither wearing seat
belts. His explanation got him outof his ticket, and the person with
him did not or did rather geta ticket. So yeah, it got
(02:34):
us thinking. I was even sayingto you, Josh, I'm like,
you know that is always it's anoldie, but a goodie as far as
the topic of getting out of maybesome sort of ticket that you know,
maybe you turned somewhere you shouldn't have, or you know, Zach was telling
me about he was in the middleof basically you know what, Zach,
(02:57):
can you tell that again? Likeclick your mic if you would, and
you remember what you were telling meabout when you ended up running a red
light. I live in a bunchof cornfields basically, and there was it
was like midnight, and it wasa it was a red light, but
there's nobody around, and I stoppedand I just decided to go on through,
and as soon as I did,the lights rear came off and got
(03:21):
me. And then so they pulledyou over. And then at that point
you said you basically were just honest. You just said that, He goes,
do you know why I pulled youover? And go yep, ran
a red light and he's like,thank you, somebody's finally honest with me
today. And I was like,yeah, I mean he let me go.
I think it's just because I was, you know, completely honest with
him. I mean that right thereis a shining example of just be honest.
(03:44):
It shouldn't be. It shouldn't be. Dude, Come on, how
how what are you gonna Are yougonna camp out at like the Soul intersection
in the little place that has alight and then at you know, two
in the morning when nobody's out there, you're gonna wait to pop somebody?
Come on, that's weak man.Let's be honest. If they do that,
(04:05):
it's dry out there's the conditions arefavorable, and then they get you.
It's in the middle of the night. They're probably looking for a DUI
wouldn't you say, I mean,that's gonna probably at least springboard why they
would pull you over. Now theyhave a reason, and if they didn't
observe you, I get that,but it's I'm just playing devil's advocate.
(04:29):
At least they didn't care because ifthey had given Zach a ticket, that
would have been a dude that thatoften that cops finter is way too tight
for the job. If that's thecase, Like you're gonna give him a
red light on a You're gonna givea red light ticket at two in the
morning in the middle of nowhere,like, come on, stop, don't
do that. Yeah, nothing coming. And he was sitting there. It's
not like he was going fifty andwent just blew it. He stopped,
(04:53):
was looking around, set there fora little bit and realized, oh my
gosh, this thing is not gonnaturn. It's gonna stay red. I
have I have. I have ranmultiple red lights late at night in the
middle of bf E because I'm notgoing to sit around and wait, I'm
not, dude, there's no pointin it. It's not any Those lights
(05:15):
are there for people's safety. Ifnobody's safety is compromised, what what do
you What does it matter? Imean, honestly, what does it matter?
Would it be different in your eyesif it was like five pm?
But nothing around it? Fine?So I feel like the time is inconsequential
kind of I do too, Like, dude, if you like, because
(05:36):
you can have this where you cansee like a half a mile in either
direction, nobody's coming right right,Yeah, just go Hey, Jenny,
how are you? Hello? Jenny? Hello? Hello? There you are
Hi? Can you hear me?Now? I can hear you? Just
(05:57):
fine, Thank you for waiting.So tell us your story. So I
actually had expired tags. It wasaround my birthday and I just hadn't went
yet. This is ten years ago. But I was leaving BW Three's and
obviously the cop was skinning a parkinglot waiting for me to pull out because
he knew I had expired tags.But I didn't have my seat belt on
(06:17):
and my boyfriend didn't have his on. But when he pulled me over,
he asked me about my seat belt, and of course I lied. I
said I didn't have it on orI had it on, but I took
it off to reach in the mailboxto get my registration, and my boyfriend
he didn't have his on, andhe asked me if he'd had his on,
and I said no. So heactually ended up getting a seat belt
(06:38):
ticket. I got out of it, and I did not even get a
ticket for my expired tags. Hejust gave my boyfriend a ticket and that
was it. Are you with thatguy still? Thank god? No,
Now that could be part of it. He's like man, I don't want
to, or maybe you were like, man, why don't you? I
mean the fact that he got it, and by the way, Duck just
(07:00):
sent me in. I think itwas like one hundred and forty dollars.
There's something silly, wasn't it,Jenny? Yeah, Well, actually I
believe that they get more out ofseat belt tickets and they do speeding tickets,
So they try to enforce the seatbelt ticket, you know, more
because I think that price is higher, and they get yeah. Ope,
you there, she dropped out.Yeah, I'm here. Yeah, yeah,
(07:21):
yeah, no, I've I've nevergotten a seat belt ticket, but
I can tell you it's devastating financiallywhen you get one more. Yeah,
yeah, I think it's more thana speeding ticket, So don't always write
seat belt tickets. But I blamedit on him. He got it.
I didn't get it. So yougot out of expired tags and you didn't
have a seat belt on? Yeah, because I told him I took it
(07:43):
off when I was reaching in theglovebox to get my registration. But I
never had it on. I justlied. Yeah, so what what?
You just hadn't bought a news stickeryet for your plates? I hadn't done
it yet. It was maybe threefour days after my birthday. Okay,
yep, yeah, I just hadn'tgot it yet. And then another time
I was going through a residential area. I was about eight months pregnant,
(08:05):
and of course the speedom it's twentyfive. I was going like thirty seven.
I got pulled over and I startedcrying, saying I was having contractions
going to my mom's house. AndI got out of that ticket off.
Ooh, that's a good one.The contraction, the old contraction thing.
But man, what are they gonnado, right? I mean, you're
pregnant. You clearly were visibly pregnant. I mean, what can they say
(08:28):
you were lying? Like no,I was having contractions. They can't prove
otherwise. Yeah. I think Iwas going to the post office or something.
But yeah, good one, Jenny, Thanks, good one. No

Yeah, I was. This wasback in like seventy nine. I'm on
two seventy by Westland Mall, andall of a sudden there's a state boy
(08:52):
coming in the opposite direction. Hethrows on his lights, so I go
into the Westland Mall parking line andfigure I'm going to hide, and I
thought, oh yeah, I'm outof this. Well, he pulls up
behind me and I'm like, yougotta be kidding me, So, you
know, he gives me a ticket. I gotta go to court. So
(09:13):
I go to court, and Ihave a lawyer, and the lawyer brings
up a lot of things, andon two seventy that is a inter or
in trust state. The officer wroteit up as an ur which means you
go from one state to another state. And plus I was driving a Mustang
(09:37):
Hia Kia that's all fiberglass. Sothe judge threw it out. So you
got out of it. That's good, John, Thanks Q one WTVN one
eight hundred and six. WTBN gota couple of lines available. And we'll
keep going with your gotten out ofa some sort of a ticket. Maybe
(09:58):
whatever you were pulled over for,you were able to get out of it,
so on and so forth, evenif you end up in court.
Kind of a thing. But I'malways fascinated by these stories. Jenny was
a good one to kick us offwith. I'm having contractions on the way
to my mom's Go ahead, ma'am, go ahead. They don't want anything
to do with help and deliver ababy right then, traveling and weather together
