Atwater v. Lago Vista 532 U.S. 318 (2001) was a United States Supreme Court decision which held that a person’s Fourth Amendment rights are not violated when the subject is arrested for driving without a seatbelt. The court ruled that such an arrest for a misdemeanor that is punishable only by a fine does not constitute an unreasonable seizure under the Fourth Amendment.
