An upstate New York district attorney refused to stop for cops when she was caught speeding — and instead drove back her house and called the police chief to complain about the “a–hole” officer who pursued her home, bodycam footage shows.
Monroe County District Attorney Sandra Doorley admitted that she was driving 55 mph in a 35 mph zone on Monday on Phillips Road in Webster — less than half a mile from her neighborhood, WHAM reported.
“Once I realized that the intention of the [police car] was to pull me over, I called the Webster Police Chief to inform him that I was not a threat and that I would speak to the Officer at my house down the street,” she said in a statement.
The officer followed her to her home and issued Doorley a ticket, which she accepted. The DA pleaded guilty in municipal court on Tuesday “because I believe in accepting responsibility for my actions and had no intention of using my position to receive a benefit,” she said.
However, bodycam footage released by the Webster Police Department on Friday shows the tense exchange between Doorley and the officer in her driveway, in which the district attorney appears to have been doing just that.
When the cop tells her she was doing 55 in a 35, she tells him “I don’t really care,” clearly irritated.
She gets on the phone and calls Webster Chief of Police Dennis Kohlmeier and asks him “can you please tell them to leave me alone?”
Doorley refuses to step outside her garage to speak with officers. She dismissively hands the cop the phone to speak with the chief and tells him “just go away.” The officer can be heard explaining what happened on the phone.

tickets are for the little people.
She wouldn’t have called the police chief if it hadn’t worked before right? So maybe not the first time, just the first time caught
Here in NJ a few years back some Karen Port Authority commissioner had to resign after meddling with cops during a traffic stop in which her daughter was an unrelated passenger. She threw her weight around (all on camera) and was exposed:

People don’t understand how body cameras have changed the game; next thing, they’ll want them removed.
Republicans will force her to resign. Bet Dems will welcome her with open arms.
She has a history locally...see above link
Privileged “Karen” needs to be removed. F NYS.
I watched the video and she should have been taken down, handcuffed, put in jail, and charges of evading and resisting arrest added, the cop had zero control of her, she was running the entire show.
AWFL.
DO YOU KNOW WHO I AM ?
We teach them to read.
We let them wear shoes.
and this is the thanks we get.
fleeing and eluding carry stiff penalties unless one is a minority or lefty politician.
She belongs is prison for FELONY EVADING and needs to be Criminally Prosecuted for this.
What arrogance!
If it were any of us that would have been the case.
The LibCommies have put it on and given it a test drive.
Now they all want one.
Americans are getting a re-education in tyranny, the same that drove our FFs (and non glom patriots) to rebel against the greatest world in 1763-. Over a one-percent tax on stationery and other papers.
It is an acquired taste, for tyranny that is.
And, in the words of the immortal P.J. O'Rourke, you'd better acquire it fast, or you're going to throw up.
She has more gum than Wrigley Field
The irony is that her office’s drug forfeiture account probably helped pay for that body camera.
She was a dem for years. Switched to GOP when it was politically expedient
