Could you tell what they were writing them for? I have seen police patrols stop all cars at intersections to check for seatbealt usage. And once, just once, I actually saw a police cruiser pull over a guy that had passed a whole bunch of people on the right side soft shoulder. The one and only time I have seen someone stopped for a moving violation (in 5+years). I cheered the policeman as I went by and he smiled brightly at me.
