New York | Traffic Law
Legal Question
I was sitting in my car with the motor running, waiting for a truck ahead to finish maneuvering. I saw a cop standing on the sidewalk, which reminded me that my seat belt was not connected. As I pulled on it to connect, the cop saw me, ran over and told me to pull over. He then gave me a ticket. Was I in violation without a seat-belt, when sitting and not moving ?
