even if you are on private property and sitting in any vehicle with the engine running, you have to have your seatbelt on.

Even if that is the rule in SC too, it was a bogus reason to harass the guy...especially in a parking lot. We know the cop wasn't concerned for the guy's safety, considering he tried his damnedest to kill him, as evidenced in the video. So, his reason for harassing the guy, whatever it was, was bogus.
