I just need to add a point about waving his right to emergency care.
I am taking the EMS class and that during an emergency if the patient
(in this case he refuse to wear the belt and braclet waving one right) is
unconscious we still have to give medical aid. Unless he is awake and
in a good mental state then he can refuse medical aid or has a "DO NOT
RESUSCITATE" signed by the doctor then we are free (still not 100%).
This are the NHTSA regulations. Regardless, he has a very good
chance of spending or squandering the funds.
The DNR (DO NOT RES...) order is for terminal ill patients and
mostly likely are bed-bound. The order has a life expectancy of six
months and renewable by doc (applies in NJ and not sure about
other states).

I agree with you 100% Allan...I think that someone who refuses to wear a
seat belt should not have to pay a fine. I think he should be given a
choice in court to either pay the fine or to wear a medical bracelet from
then on waiving his right to emergency care. I don't think our society
should have to pay for his lack of foresight and prudence by squandering
our
limited medical resources. Same way helmets for motorcyclists.
