Look what we have here! It’s a person in power trying to use their position to get out of a little ticket from the police and she’s caught on camera doing it. This is Monroe County District Attorney Sandra Doorley and she drove away from the police who tried to pull her over for speeding. She kept going instead of pulling over, then called the police chief and tried to get them to leave her alone.
Nope. Didn’t work. And good thing there’s a police body cam video showing it happen. Apparently Doorley drove home and the police followed her. She became beligerant towards the police and asked them to call the chief. She possibly admitted to what she was doing as well. There’s really no way for the officer to know who she is without running her license plate, so to him, it was just someone speeding and he was trying to do his job and pull them over. The problem began with Doorley. The news report on Doorley said:
Doorley does not give the officer her ID. Instead she gives him her phone, says Dennis Kohlmeier is on the line, and once again walks into the garage, eventually going all the way into her house.
“I understand the law better than you,” she tells the officer as he tries to get her back outside. She continues to refuse to leave the garage, at one point returning to her car to get her badge to show the officer.
“I just don’t understand the hostility toward me,” the officer says. “I’m doing my job.”
“No, you’re being an [expletive],” Doorley says.
“How am I being an [expletive],” the officer says.
“I am the DA of Monroe County,” Doorley says.
“I understand that, but that doesn’t give you a right to go 55 in a 35,” the officer says.
“I don’t really care,” Doorley says. “I don’t really care. You know what? If you give me a traffic ticket that’s fine. I’m the one who prosecutes it.”
