Andy, you get caught in WI or IL?
I got pulled over for my rearview camera last year (replaces my mirror). After proving I didn't have a DVD player in the car he went back to the squad to figure out what he could write a ticket for. 20 minutes later he couldn't find anything to give me a ticket for so he asked that I only use it to back-up and turn it off while driving!! In other words he told me to break the law by not having any rearview at all....

With the new seat belt laws we have given up all of our privacy rights, they merely have to think you weren't wearing a belt to pull you over and search your car, forget needing a reason anymore.
