Legal question about Antique vehicles and the seat belt laws

Tennessee they have similar laws. But I’ve been harassed by a female officer three of four times about it. I was a cop here and I just call the chief. Then a few minutes later she drives off. No questions. No comments. 65 valiant and my kids ride everywhere with me. Lap belts in the back. None up front.

I feel like if I want to lawn dart myself I should be able too. Rode motorcycles for years with helmets. I know the consequences of not having the seat belts but odd are steel car vs a Kia I’m pretty sure I’ll win. Even though I drive slow as hell.
