Blackmail

to wear a seatbelt if his or her feels like not wearing one. He might say that it is his or hers life in jeopardy and he or she can do whatever he or she would like with his or her life. He might also say that no one has control over any other person, so if they choose to not think twice about wearing a seatbelt, then let his or her find out the hard way about crashes. I sometimes do not wear my seatbelt in my car because sometimes I have a mind set that it will not happen to me, so a person might figure why waste the few seconds it takes to put a seatbelt and have that inconvenience of that material rubbing your neck when you can get off to a quicker start and not have a strap rubbing your neck at all times while driving. This would be an example of strong paternalism because the law enforces the seatbelt law with extreme prejudice.Now, I agree with inconvenience to oneself should not have a law against it at all. For example, you willingly leave your windows open and then it rains outside later on in the day. Your seat is wet when you ride to work. That sort of stuff happens and you cannot really make a law about a person inconveniencing him or herself because he or she usually know what him or her is getting into when he or she does his or her act or acts. In some cases he or she might not know what he or she is doing because of an overpowering emotion. If a person takes a bat to his car because he or she cannot fix it, then he or she has to deal with paying for new windows and stuff like that. When he or she realizes that all he or she had to do was reconnect the battery cables or something real simple like that, then he or she would see the actual inconvenience that he or she could have saved him or herself by keeping it cool and trying all options again instead of losing his or her temper. That is just one example why I believe that there should not be a law against someone inconveniencing him or herself for doing something stupid...
