There is one clarification needed. In Minnesota, you can't be stopped for not wearing a seat belt. The Legislature toyed with the idea of making failure to wear a seat belt a "primary offense," but the bill failed in the House last May.
However, if you're stopped for some other infraction -- and how difficult is it to stop you for some other "infraction"? -- you can be charged with violating the law if you're not wearing a seat belt.
