I see this topic really affects you, it is clear that real life experiences has colored your view on this, and you deserved to not be harassed. (Good luck with this under this administration)
But the fact remains that seatbeltlaws are in place in many countries, including countries where cops dont harras brown people. So this argument doesn't hold water. Nixon did infact talk about racial targeting by illegalizing marijuana, not seatbelts
My wife is a hardy woman, who has treated kids in hospices, people with knifes stuck in their brains, women receiving cecarians that didn't get sedated properly by the anaesthesiologist because their drug use affected how they took the sedation, she regularly treats new amputees, changes bandages of burn victims, washes the asses of elderly, and has to see people where the pavement scraped away half their face. She is 37, and has seen a lot of shit during her career, and what she gets in return is patients that ask why they sent a child in to treat them because she looks like a teenager when she doesn't wear makeup.
She, and the rest of the tax paying public are very happy that seatbelt laws are strict, I dont want to pay my tax money on the crazy amount of money each road fatality cost (its more than you think), this is both true in countries where you don't have free health care like yours, as well as the rest of the western world. It's expensive, both in money, and the toll on the people who will treat you.
If you want to get a little bit of compassion for the people who work in health. Feel free to watch the TV show The Pitt (2025), season one, is set up like every episode is an hour in the shift of the ER. And every 5 minutes my wife says this happened to me, this is realistic, that's how it actually is, that's a realistic amount of blood, that happened to a colleague of mine etc
Her words, you have to be a psychopath not to be affected by the shit you see in the hospital, and you don't want to be only treated by psychopaths do you?
