ST. PAUL, MN (KNSI) - Minnesota's statewide "click it or ticket" campaign is back in action from now through June 7.

Officers will be enforcing both seat belt and child passenger seat violations. And that ticket won't be cheap, costing right around $100 depending on the county.

The campaign means that an officer can pull you over for a seat belt violation alone. Anyone 15 and older without a seatbelt will get their own citation.

Over the past three years the state says over 400 unbelted drivers and passengers have died in Minnesota crashes.
