You might see more law enforcement on Clark County roads and Neillsville streets in the next couple weeks.The Clark County Sheriff's Department and Neillsville Police Department are participating in the Click It or Ticket mobilization from Monday to June 6. More than 300 law enforcement agencies in Wisconsin are expected to participate in this year?s Click It or Ticket.
As of last year, state law allows officers to stop and ticket unbuckled drivers and passengers even if we did not observe another violation.
Last year, convictions for failure to fasten safety belts exceeded 100,000 for the first time in state history. Safety belt violations were approximately 12 percent of all traffic convictions in 2009.
