Holloway angrily told the officer that, as a councilman, he was responsible for the cop having a job.
“You know me. You act like I’m running around here mother——— gun toting, weed-smoking. I’m the one that hired you,” Holloway shouted.
As Holloway continued to argue and look for his car registration, the officer asked, “Why are you acting like this?”
Back in his patrol vehicle, the officer radioed a supervisor, telling him he had pulled over the councilman. “He’s freaking out. I don’t know what’s going on with him,” the officer told his supervisor.
When the supervisor arrived and approached Holloway in his vehicle, the councilman was on the phone with the Paulsboro police chief. Seeing the supervisor, Holloway asked, “You know who I am, right?”
“I know who you are, sir,” the supervisor replied.
Holloway then resumed his call, saying, “Anyway, chief, please talk with them.”

He was eventually issued a citation for “driving or parking unregistered motor vehicle.” The police officer told him he would not be ticketed for allegedly running the stop sign, according to the police body camera footage.

LOL. Gotta love that “Do you know who I am?” routine. If it didn’t work for John Kerry, it ain’t gonna work for a NJ city councilman.
No need to look.
Theodore D. Holloway II
Why wasn’t he issued a ticket for running the stop sign? Would I be able to get away with that? I hope locals throw a hissy over this. What’s good for the goose is good for the gander!
Only a democrat.
These “Do you know who I am?” stories crack me up. What a great example these “public servants” set.
R or D?
(Do we even have to ask.)
If I were that police chief, I would have come over and arrested him!

That councilman should be immediately removed from power. But the system does not work that way.
A lot of people don’t know anymore just what that is...
I used to hear this every so often as a Fire Inspector. My reply was, “Yes sir/ma’am. Here’s my supervisor’s business card with his phone number—He’d love to hear from you. You can discuss it with him after the inspection.”
Thanks
The councilman should lose his job. Remember what we keep hearing: NOBODY is above the law. Snort!
Next best was the teen age girl pulled over for a traffic violation. As the cop approaches the driver's door, she asks, "Do you know who my father is?". The cop replies, "Why? Didn't your mother tell you?
