Seatbelt check this a.m.

I had never seen the state do one of these before. They were set-up on the Charles Co. side of the Benedict bridge checking to see who wasn't wearing their seatbelt. It backed traffic up a bit, but it wasn't bad.

I also got to see a man in handcuffs.

They are setup on post office road all the time right behind the 7-11. They make a ton of $$$ from doing that check LOL.

I assume he did more than that.

Maybe they found something illegal in his truck (which was a company truck), or maybe there was a warrant for his arrest.

Probably led to it.
No seat belt, show license to the cop, he runs it and finds an outstanding warrant.

= chrome plated bracelets

They should do those more often. Great way to bust parents who don't strap the kiddies down and bust those knuckleheads with warrants too. I love it. Worth the sit in traffic.
