Not wearing a seatbelt is a vice/sin therefore it is in the collective interest to turn it into a crime not to wear a seatbelt because the government has a vested interest in our well-being...well using this argument...adultery is a vice/sin and it is in the collective interest to make sure that it doesn&#039;&#039;t happen...the government has a vested interest in our well-being, therefore adultery should also be a crime punishable by fines and even jail time, yet it isn&#039;&#039;t. Why is that? The argument to be made is that we have allowed the government to intrude into our lives at an unnatural level. Instead we should use the influence of sound arguments and those responsible for moral formation to persuade us to do what is right and government should be used to help us by protecting us...and even that should be narrowly defined since punishing someone for murder or stealing is obvious because those vices/sins infringe upon another person&#039;&#039;s rights the argument could be made that all vices/sins effect another in some way and therefore should be punishable by the government as a crime...what a slippery slope. </description>

		<description>Perhaps when the officer pulls you over you can say that it was a very agonizing and personal decision not to wear your seat belt -- a decision that was by no means taken lightly.</description>
