a the primary goal of police officers is to pull people over.
b you can be pulled over and ticketed simply for not having a seat belt on.
c kentucky does not allow law officers to issue warnings. they must issue a ticke you violate the law

Explanation:

To determine the correct answer, we analyze each option:

• Option A: The primary goal of police is not simply to pull people over; this misrepresents their role.
• Option B: In a primary enforcement state for seat belts, law enforcement can stop and ticket drivers solely for not wearing a seat belt (without another traffic violation as a pretext). This matches the definition of a primary enforcement state.
• Option C: There's no indication Kentucky prohibits warnings; this is incorrect.

Answer:

B. You can be pulled over and ticketed simply for not having a seat belt on.
