think it depends on the state, some make it a secondary offense in which they cannot pull you over for a seatbelt violation

Not if you're in the Walmart parking lot. Only on the street.

yes.

If the engine is on, you are operating it. Same with drinking.

seat belts are required, so yes they can

I think it depends on the state law. Why would a cop look twice at someone in a car parked in a parkinglot anyway unless your doing something your not supposed to be doing.

Depending on the state you live in, you can get a ticket but only if the car is not in park. If you have your foot on the brake and the car is in drive or reverse you can get a ticket if you're not wearing a seatbelt. If it is in park you won't in most states. It's really a technicality and depends on what kind of mood the cop is in.
