I had an incident that was very similar, though it was compounded by the nature of the incident...

A couple years ago, on probably the hottest summer day in B.C. (around July 30th), I was driving my then shitty Neon through the back roads of a small town. I was heading to a friend's house, for some reason I've now forgotten.

These back roads were located on the rim of a dry, desert-esque hillside, overlooking the main city slightly in the distance. For the most part, the roads were barren on both sides; imagine pine trees with desert undergrowth. Near the turn off to the main highway, the police had a service station - a place where they would keep their vehicles. Further down the back road, there was a hardware store, and an ashphault company. Just down the hill, and far in the distance near the entrance to the city I could see a Tim Hortons (a Canadian coffee and donut cafe).

The car overheated and broke down outside the hardware store, which was closed. It didn't have AC, there was no wind. It was just after noon, so the sun was high and hot. I went to call one of my friends from in town, who I knew worked as a mechanic. I couldn't figure out what was wrong with the car. My cellphone was dead... so I decided to walk to Tim Hortons to use their phone.

I trekked there through the dry bush. I had never been so happy to be inside an air-conditioned Tim Hortons. Called. My friend was at work for the next two hours. Two hours later, we meet up at Tim Hortons. After some fucking around, and an hour later, the car was fixed.

By then, I opted to just go home. So I'm driving passed the fucking cop service station, and I get pulled over. I can claim to the contrary, but my seat belt was apparently off EVEN THOUGH HE SAW THAT I HAD IT ON WHEN HE CAME TO THE DOOR. He suggested I just put it on before he came to the door, even though I had thought he was going to give me a speeding ticket. I personally think they were just trying to fulfill their operational quotas, as the RCMP is apt to have here. The ticket was 175 dollars. He made the comment "don't expect to challenge it, I will show up."

FUCKING HELL.

edit: I can't believe they give seatbelt tickets to people. I've never known anyone who's gotten one.

I have a feeling that this'll happen to me one day just by chance, so I worked out a "solution" that would help me to get out of my ticket.

When I go out driving around I take my camera with me. It has a 16GB card in it, good for dozens of hours of video. I just set it to record a low-quality 15fps video and then place it in the cupholder such that it's more or less facing me.

The microphone is pretty sensitive so when I put my seatbelt on it goes ka-CLICK. If anyone pulls me over and accuses me of being intoxicated/drugged/not wearing my seatbelt, I'll have an iron witness that TELLS NO LIES.
