Hawai'i is legal

In Wisconsin, it would be a seat belt violation. Adults and children are required to be wearing seat belts, and children under the age of 8 are supposed to also be in car seats. It varries from state to state, but you can check out your state's status at: http://www.iihs.org/laws/state_laws/restrain2.html
It's a $30 - $75 fine per person in our state.

call or go online to your local police station and see if they have a comment page and ask the question. some areas are very hard on that b/c some people have died while being in the back of a pick up. make sure they are sitting down on truck bed not on tire hub, thats where they fall off. if someone dies while you're driving and it was an accident you look at vehicular manslaughter or manslaughter in the degrees. so i would definately call my local police station and see before attempting.

I used to live in Louisiana and it was legal there, but now I live in California and it's illegal. It just depends on which state you live in.

the worst possible penalty you could face is having to live the rest of your life KNOWING that you were instrumental in ending the lives of those people, My step daughter, who was extremely beautiful, survived such a situation, but not without a few very scary nights in the hospital. Any laws that prevents this kind of activity is good for everyone concerned.

In all the red states, it's legal. In all the blue states, the penalty is death by listening to Al Gore blather on about how the Earth is going to explode into a burnin' ball of fire next week if we don't roll our economy back to 1830...

Whatever the cost for a moving violation in your city or state. Mine it's about $100.00

The great risk of killing those people in the truck bed should be enough deterrent.
