Essex Police Department Step Up Seat Belt Enforcement Click It or Ticket Essex Police Department will be joining efforts with statewide law enforcement on April 14th for an aggressive "Click It or Ticket" mobilization to get more motorists to buckle up -- and save more lives.... Despite evidence proving the benefits of wearing a seat belt, 20% of Missouri motorists are still not making it click. Even worse, 63% of occupants killed in crashes in Missouri were unrestrained. Local motorists should be prepared for stepped up Click It of Ticket enforcement. We'll be out there to remind you seat belts can - and do - save lives. Buckle Up and Arrive Alive. For information on Missouri seat belt usage, visit www.saveMOlives.com.

Ladies and gentlemen: When you see that police car and officer sitting along the highway running radar and you slam on those brakes and slow down then speed back up as soon as you pass them, expect to get a ticket and don't blame it on the officer or be mad at the officer. Be mad at yourself, it is your fault not the officers.
