I don’t believe you.
When the cop goes to pull someone over, the first thing they do is call the station with information about the vehicle. That way they can find out if the car is stolen or has an APB on it or whatever.
There’s no doubt in my mind that a cop knows if they’re pulling over a politician or not.
All this said: politicians are seldom held accountable for major violations of the law (see Hillary Clinton). Minor violations, forget it.
I thought their cars had Congressional license plates.
I’m not so sure that Scott’s proposed solution isn’t far off the mark: Separate traffic enforcement duties from law enforcement duties. I’ve seen the reputation of law enforcement tarnished by the likes of traffic cops who park at the bottom of a long hill with a radar gun or even bait people into speeding. Revenue collector for the nanny state should not be part of their job description.
Forgot who this was applied to....I think a Kennedy...went into rehab.
He says nothing about this happening when he was a politician. Senator Scott is a good man and I believe him
Could he have been referring to times before his political career. In any event, now that he’s identified the “problem,” it’s incumbent on him to propose a solution.
