A Washington lobbyist who played a leading role in raising money for Hillary Clinton's presidential runs resigned her commissionership at a top transportation agency after being caught cursing out police on video.
"You may shut the f--- up!" fumed the lobbyist, Caren Turner, at a Tenafly, NJ, cop during a March 31 traffic stop of a car in which Turner's daughter had been a passenger.
"You're an ass," Turner later told the officer, according to a police report released Wednesday. "Look at that smug-ass look on your face."
Turner, 60, had become increasingly frustrated and angry after police politely declined to discuss in detail why they had pulled over that car, which was being impounded after being found to have an expired registration.
A police dash-cam video — which has gone viral — shows Turner, who lives in Tenafly, arriving in her own vehicle just as police were finishing up ticketing the driver for violations that included failure to have a current insurance car, driving an unregistered vehicle, and driving with the license plate obscured.
And she promptly began taking a peremptory tone, dropping names and mentioning her position as a commissioner of the Port Authority of New York & New Jersey. She also flashed a gold badge from the PA at the cops.
The Port Authority operates all three major New York area airports, river crossings between Manhattan and New Jersey, and the World Trade Center site in New York.

Another officer was murdered today, in Maine. Perp had been arrested not long ago in MA on, IIRC, weapons and drug charges, and some MA judge reduced the perp’s bail.
He wasn’t arrested for killing the officer originally, but for drugs and firearms. That’s why his bail was low. It was after he got out that he killed the officer, and is now the subject of a massive manhunt.
“It is my experience in dealing with police who have pulled you over, that “Do you know who I am?” is only slightly less persuasive than “What’s the matter? Dunkin Donuts closed?””
no matter what, ALWAYS be polite and calm when confronted by the police. period.
I checked and you are correct... Then in some way this makes the behavior even worse, it just proves these no pay, country club positions are for leverage and not so honest work for not so honest pay.
It just proves these people truly believe they are some how elite. “I have over 4000 police officers working for me” Huh? How is that possible with being paid for that position?
Such a hack position that has control over huge amounts of bureaucracy funded entirely by tax dollars...
It would be funny to see if all those commissioners in the next year got pulled over by the Police and acted in a similar manner.
What....I see nothing out of the ordinary for your run of the mill average dimocrap... Language is spot on, attitude is about right... Yeppers, it's a dimocrap alright...
LOVE IT..finally some Commie crackpot gets a taste of her own medicine
Carma’s a bitch, Caren.
Wow. A Clinton ally who received a plum Port Authority gig, from Republican Governor Chris Christie of all people, and still found a way to throw it all away in spectacular fashion.
All she had to do was pick up her pampered college kids and sort it out on the next work day.
I dunno. No one with the power to give her a cushy gig wants the chance of a repeat performance like that!
I wonder what happened to that bit*h.
She ought to have her ass kicked. Watch the video of the dash cam.
You know, I hate to sound harsh but if I were the guy on the right, I would have told her to clear the area or she would be arrested for obstruction.
And I am far, far, far from the type of person.
What an idiot. What a witch. Once they’ve told you especially twice, stand aside.
No wonder she’s buds with Nancy Pelosi.
They suffer from “Do you know who I am” syndrome.
They are too important to submit to little things like the law.
If I was that Officer, I might have given her the BFD, they are MIT and YALE? What a despicable @unt.
Clintonista BITCH!
Somebody had better investigate her background and mental health record. She might be another threat to society.
My cousin was a White House guard during the rule of the Clinton crime family. Bitch Hillary routinely cussed out secret service and military personnel, and ordered no eye contact and no talking to her. I’m not kidding.

And yet these products of MIT & Yale - young adults, not children - were too stupid to maintain a current insurance card and properly register their vehicle. And at the first sign of trouble, one of them dials up mommy to come rescue them.
Unfortunately, our stupid Governor, Phil Murphy, will find some other position for her on which to waste our tax dollars.
