And there are other concerns...Representative Carson Ross says giving police officers another opportunity to pull people over could exacerbate racial profiling.
JEFFERSON CITY - Republican Representative Carson Ross, the only black Republican legislator, says a new bill allowing police to pull over adults for not wearing their seatbelt could provide an excuse for racial profiling.
"As we travelled the state listening some of the things happening to people, even an old guy like me, as tough as I am, had tears in my eyes," said Rep. Carson Ross, R-Blue Springs.
