Yes, folks, the members of the North Carolina Child Fatality Task Force want to make more criminals. That seems to be their purpose. This task force is actually encouraging the NC Legislature to throw you in jail for 5 years if your child is in your car out a car seat -- even for a second.

Currently it is legal for a person in a motor vehicle to see to a child's needs and take them out of the car seat -- for example, in the back of a van if something falls underneath a child, you can pick the child up and then put them back. Under the new proposed laws, you will go to jail for at least 5 years if you do that.

What should the laws be? There should be zero laws forcing people to use child seats, period. They're stupid, anti-freedom laws. In fact, in all likelihood, these proposed laws won't be passed because it has the potential to reduce revenue to the state -- because that's the primary purpose of the child-seat laws to begin with.

What's really sad is that the primary discussion about this law will be the financial impact on the state -- rather than what government should care about: freedom.
