For the riding in the back of a pickup truck, in California, according to CVC 23116 (a) and 23116 (b), it is illegal to ride in the back of a pickup truck unless if the bed is equipped with seatbelts, which means you need to have separate seating there with seatbelts. Also for the swearing at a cop, while it is legal, it could make the difference between the cop letting you off with a warning and the cop writing you a ticket, and it could also make the difference between a judge throwing out your ticket and a judge convicting you of the offense, so while it is legal it doesn’t make it smart.

Not to mention, its literally a violation of civil rights to be arrested without a proper reason. Second, in EVERY state in the US, a police officer does not have to know the laws that they enforce. Their training is a laughable 3-5 months in most places, and theres no possible way to learn all the laws in that time frame, especially when you realize that the academy is training them on firearms use, department regulations and rules, etc…and not the actual laws.

We passed them on the side of the road pulled over by a cop

[@ryderchef]

I wish I had known about the truck one. One week before my daughter turned 18, I was pulled over because she was in the back of the truck, sitting near the cab. The officer followed us for about two miles b4 he pulled me over. He gave my daughter the ticket instead of me even though I was driving!

Yeah none of these things are de facto legal. In practice, the law is decided by police in the liminal space of the discretionary powers granted them and the willingness of the state/public to defer to their judgment/shield them from consequences.

It’s absolutely bonkers that you are required to wear a seatbelt if you’re inside the car but if you’re outside it’s totally 100% okay to be unsecured

They should put seatbelts in truck beds, I agree.

[@jimmiefitzgerald4961]

It is mainly for farmers to have people in the bed to do thing on the field but is given to the rest of the people. In Tennessee you are allowed on all streets besides interstates

[@ashblossomandjoyoussprung.9917]

I just remembered something. Did you know that seatbelts being a widely accepted thing is more recent than you'd think? You can look it up if you want, but it wasn't until around the 1980s that seatbelts (and speed limits) were an accepted thing. Car manufacturers fought against including seatbelts in their vehicles for decades, and the general public was like "Seatbelts!! I don't need no seatbelts. Are you insinuating that I'm a bad driver?" Just watch some movies from the 1960s and you'll probably notice the sentiment from the people of the time that people thought "I should be able to drive as fast as I want whenever I want, and I don't need to wear a damn seatbelt." Even better, it was actually mentioned in a Simpsons episode where Homer buys a car without seatbelts and expresses a negative sentiment towards seatbelts.

There was a lawsuit that happened a few years back now where this kid flipped a cop off so this little piglet decided to illegally detain him after following and shouting at the kid for 6 blocks and turned off his body cam until his backup showed up AND SIGNALED TURN YOUR CAM ON. They were actually trying to cuff him until the kid was like “well I got another lawsuit already with your department for the same thing so cool my dad will just sue your department a second time.” And only then did they back off. Point is cops aren’t your friends warn when they’re ahead and know your rights
