As I constantly questioned authority when my parents told me that if I didn't buckle my seat belt in the car the police would write us a ticket.
I somehow came to believe that police officers had a device (which looked vaguely familiar to a gameboy) that they used to scan cars and it would tell them if a seat belt was unbuckled.
Until I was 9 I compulsively buckled all seat belts in the car, even when no one was sitting in that seat.
