Video shows Port Authority commissioner telling cops: ‘You may shut the f-— up!’

Flashing her commissioner’s gold badge and boasting of her influence during a routine traffic stop involving her daughter, Caren Z. Turner demanded to know why police had pulled the car over and why it was being impounded.
Then she launched into a tirade at the two officers.
All of it was captured on camera.
Tenafly Police released a video Tuesday revealing just why Turner abruptly resigned last week as a commissioner of the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey.
The video and a police incident report, both made public after requests by NJ Advance Media and other news organizations, showed Turner apparently seeking to leverage her influence, talking about who she knew, and complaining that the police had “ruined” a holiday weekend with the stop of her daughter and three friends on rural Route 9W in Bergen County.

They’ve changed it since this morning but earlier Wikipedia had her middle name listed as “Jackass”
From your link:
“Tenafly Police Chief Robert Chamberlain said he would let the video speak for itself.”
Good move. Let people see what a complete jerk this woman is. “DON’T YOU KNOW WHO I AM!?”
Why the hell are the commissioners issued gold badges? I am sure it was done so they could attempt to use their position to try to get out of tickets etc. in this case, the officer was not intimidated.
