LAW ENFORCEMENT CITES OVER 1900 UNBELTED MOTORISTS

The Minnesota Department of Public Safety has released the numbers from the latest Click It Or Ticket campaign.  Officers, deputies and troopers from 272 agencies issued 1,922 seat belt citations and 108 child restraint citations during the campaign which ran from May 20 through June 2.  That compares to over 2300 seat belt citations and 130 child seat citations in 2023.  The state patrol Marshall region cited 43 drivers, the Mankato region cited 38 drivers.  Minnesota law requires all drivers and passengers to wear seat belts or be in the correct child restraint.
