But you know what, I didn't complain about it. I broke the law. I should have had my seatbelt on before I started moving and I didn't. I took the ticket and paid it. Yes, it sucks that I always wear my seatbelt and this one time I didn't put it on before I left I got a ticket but that is life. I made a choice and I lived with the consequences.
Suck it up and pay the fine. If you can't afford it you can go to court and they can give you community service instead of the fine.

because despite not following the rules, breaking the law, and getting caught ... they still think they were in the right.
I really think they should not allow court battles for stuff like this (speeding tickets, no seat belts, etc) because it's just a waste of tax payer money for the courts, massive back log, etc .... all for people to try saying how breaking the law was not their fault and try to get out of it. If you are in that case, you obviously broke the law.
