JWD,
In many states, the law reads as follows. I can't figure out the taxi cab issue but it is in many states. This would clearly exempt police although I think most religiously wear belts.
Quote:
Massachussetts state law:
No person shall operate a private passenger motor vehicle or ride in a private passenger motor vehicle ... unless such person is wearing a safety belt ... this provision shall not apply to:
(e) anyone involved in the operation of taxis, liveries, tractors, trucks with gross weight of eighteen thousand pounds or over, buses, and passengers of authorized emergency vehicles.
I guess if you get technical about it, a taxi driver would be exempt even in his own car.
