The news stated that the car was pulled over for the driver not wearing a seat belt, and then found this....
I thought that in Colorado a seatbelt violation was a secondary infraction and that you couldn't get pulled over for that alone....am I mistaken?

I'm calling bullshit on this woman.... That's right...
BULLSHIT!!!!
Sandra Ramirez, the mother whose son is pictured in a controversial gas can car seat photo, spoke to 9News this morning. The Colorado Department of Transportation posted the photo on its Facebook page on Tuesday.
Ramirez says while she was pulled over, her son was in the car seat in the back seat. However, while she was speaking to the officer, Ramirez claims her 3-year-old son wiggled out of the car seat and sat in the passenger-side back seat.
Lieutenant Chuck DeShazer, Commanding Officer of the Aurora Police Department Traffic Sections, says the officer continued to question Ramirez about the child in the back seat. He says Ramirez's response to the officer was, "Oh, he unbuckles and buckles his seat belt by himself all the time."
Ramirez is extremely upset by the controversial photo and apologized for the misunderstanding. She told 9NEWS she plans to sell her car and not drive again.
