I agree with you.
I dont blame the officer because he/she has to write the ticket either, it's thier job. If I am issued a sitation for anything, I always just pay it and go on. I probably won't even beable to tell you the officers name the next day, except the ones that I already knew.
But if I was an officer and had to enforce seatbelts, if someone died in a wreck because they were retained by a seat belt and I found out "or knew" that I had issued a ticket sometime in the past for not wearing one. Then I can speak for my self I know that, my consious would bother me about it for the rest of my life.
Flip the coin over and if someone died because they didn't have one on and I found out "or knew" I had pulled them over sometime in the past and didn't give them a ticket for it. Again my consious would bother me.
I'm a firm beliver in the "Butter Fly Effect" theroy. Atleast in the since that everything we do affects so many more people other than ourselfs.
We as individuls do affect how people react and we do influence the decisions that others make. It's a huge resposability that most people don't want to recognize. How can we as civiized humans not hold ourselfs accountable for what we encourage people to do, or not do?
After all for an officer is that not the whole purpose they write a citation anyway? Is it not to get an individul to decide to act in a certain way? It's that officers decision to write a citation or not that makes the person decide to wear a seat belt or not. It's society and the powers that be that have put our officers in this contraversial situation. Nobody should be put in such a place for any reason, but unfortunatley they are.
Thats all I meant is just the personal responsability involved, not that I or anyone should hold our officers personally accountable for doing what they are told to do.

Well....
well, since you put it that way...... 
I see what you are getting at now, and I tottally agree with you.
I think it is only human to feel responsible for the people that you are paid to protect. I am a father of 3 so, I know what it is like to feel responsible for someone's life.
When I first read your statement, I mis-interpreted what you were trying to say. I understood it as: The Officer should be [B]accountable[B/].
For whatever reason, I had a brain fart.
Sorry
