During the national Click it or Ticket campaign, Connecticut and New York State Police Departments conducted an occupant safety checkpoint on Route 6/Danbury Road in the town of Southeast near the State line.  Danbury Police also coordinated the effort. 

A total of 13 tickets were issued during this targeted enforcement period, two of which were for seatbelt/passenger restraint related violations. 

New York State's law says drivers and front-seat passengers over age 16 can be fined up to $50 each for failure to buckle up.  The driver can be fined $25 to $100 and receive up to three driver license penalty points for each violation of a passenger under 16 not in an appropriate safety restraint system.
