seatbelt ticket

So I was driving down auburn blvd. ( without my seatbelt on ) going the speed limit. Saw a motorcycle cop flip around. So I very slyly put on my belt. Still got a ticket for it. Police officer said itt was the only reason he had pulled me over. A co worker mentioned that I need to be commiting a moving violation to get ticketed for my lack of seatbelt. Just wondering if there is any truth to that or if its even worth fighting. Advice? Thanks

It's Citrus Heights, they will nab you for anything.

I believe the law was changed a while ago so that they could pull you over for seatbelt only.

pay the fine, learn to drive with your seatbelt on.

I think they can ticket you for just about anything. For example, I was in Modesto for work and I had parked in the hotel's parking structure on the third floor. I came out to my car in the morning and I had a ticket for having no front license plate on. So some cop had nothing better to do in the middle of the night (in Modesto!!) so he patrolled the hotel parking and gave me a ticket. I was so mad. Luckily though I only had to pay $10 after putting the front plate back on.

so i talked to my brother, and like dresk said, police can you pretty much ticket you for anything. If you're breaking the law, they can ticket you. I guess it really just comes down to the cop and if he has nothing else better to do then pull you over for no seat belt lol.
