This is one crazy traffic stop. Ms Berky completely loses it.
The officer kept his cool through out the entire stop. Just another day at the job for a police officer doing his job.

Ulster County Legislator Berky apologizes for behavior toward police officer

TOWN OF ULSTER, N.Y. >> Ulster County Legislator Jennifer Schwartz Berky on Friday took responsibility for her behavior during a police traffic stop that was captured on video and apologized to the officer who pulled her over.

She also said she is staying in the race to keep her Legislature seat.

Berky, D-Kingston, said in a written statement that seeing the dash cam video — in which she is shown venting at the officer, begging not to be ticketed, citing her position as a county lawmaker, and naming elected officials she says she’s contacting — was a humbling experience.

“I hope to use it to grow and learn how to better represent the diverse working families who reside in the great city of Kingston,” she wrote.




Why do I have a feeling that she is going to have a hard time with the upcoming election?

She's a Dem., so this kind of thing is seen as a positive among far too much of her base...
 
It really is amazing the change in attitude when busted by video...

Does not really matter if D or R They all pull the same old "do you know who I am?"

Were it that Democrat who fooled the Republicans into electing him president, his base would blame the incident on Hillary Clinton.
Believe it or not, you do have a point.
 
That lady is stupid. She wan't even gonna get a ticket.

Just relax.
