Legal Question in Traffic Law in Maryland

Seat Belt Law

I was pulled over today and fined for not wearing a seat belt. I am an avid opposer of submitting to any restrictions in what I believe to be is personal property. (I own my car, it is actually paid for). I want to find out if there is any specific document stating that risks that I take while residing in my own property are mine to take, and that no one else can pose restrictions upon those risks.

Thank you,

John
