Actually, within the last year or two I remember the Boston police (or maybe Manino) made an announcement that they were going to begin enforcing the seatbelt law as a primary violation (meaning you now would be stopped for not wearing your seatbelt, whereas before it was a secondary violation that would only be given if you had been stopped for speeding, etc) I found

that shows it as a secondary violation. Still trying to find something about them changing that though...
As far as a seatbelt law in general, I agree with you. Nobody is going argue too much because seat-belts do save lives.
