Police released a video Tuesday showing a former financial adviser to Hillary Clinton getting involved in a heated, profanity-laced confrontation with several officers.
"You may shut the f--- up!" the woman, Caren Z. Turner, 60, shrieks at an officer at one point.
Most recently, Turner has been a commissioner with the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, and was chairwoman of its ethics committee, Politico reported. She was forced to resign last week because of the interaction with police during Easter weekend.
“The Port Authority has zero tolerance for ethics violations,” PA spokesman Ben Branham told the website.
According to a police report from March 31, Turner's daughter was in a car that had been pulled over on Route 9W by Tenafly, N.J., police, but the driver allegedly could not provide proof of insurance or registration. So Turner was called to the scene to help resolve the matter, NJ.com reported.
Police video then shows Turner demanding to know what was going on, and brandishing her credentials as a Port Authority commissioner.
"I need to know," Turner repeatedly tells the officers, demanding information about the traffic stop.
The officers tell her that they are under no legal obligation to provide details because her daughter and the others in the car were all over age 18.
Turner appears to grow increasingly frustrated, and demands that the officers refer to her as “Commissioner” rather than “Miss.” (snip)
Turner has yet to comment on her resignation or the allegations of violating the board’s code of ethics. Her name and photo have reportedly been removed from the Port Authority website.

Been posted. I watched the 16 minute video. That “lady” did not know when to quit. It blew her mind that the police did not bow down and grovel at her feet. Elitist smug pig she was.
These people think unoquivocally that they are out betters.
this is not a left or right issue.
nearly all gov‘t employees are corrupt
“You may.....” A pretty snooty way to put it.
Dear Lord.. Leftist Elites are unhinged beyond repair.. They want all the respect and adulation in the world for themselves, yet give none for those they feel are beneath them.
Sounds like she learned her vocabulary from Hildebeast.
She is a DISPICABLE.
I dare say a great many as well.
She learned from the best.
An arrogant ass. Typical Clinton crony.
She needs to have her teeth knocked out.
Why were the young ones pulled over?
The police had incredible restraint. I have seen Disorderly Conduct slapped on people for much less.
Its frightening how many useful idiots out there think she did nothing wrong and would vote for her again.
But yeah.. what a pompous a$$ that woman was.. She reminded me of Barbara Boxer demanding she be addressed as senator “because she worked hard for that title”. They are in every level of society.. Self-proclaimed ‘BigShots’.

Turner has been fired from her post as a Port Authority commissioner, but her troubles may not end there.
Mark Zinna, the former Tenafly Borough Council President who served as acting Mayor in 2017 is now calling for official misconduct charges to be brought against Turner.
“It really is official misconduct,” said Zinna, in an interview with NJ Advance Media on Tuesday afternoon. “It is the definition of it.”
Under New Jersey’s Official Misconduct statute, “a public servant is guilty of official misconduct when, with purpose to obtain a benefit for himself or another” he (or she) “commits an act relating to his (or her) office but constituting an unauthorized exercise of his official functions, knowing that such act is unauthorized or s/he is committing such act in an unauthorized manner.”
As a crime of the second degree, official misconduct carries a minimum sentence of five years in prison without parole, and carries a maximum of ten years.
A spokeswoman for the Attorney General’s office said on Tuesday afternoon that it neither confirms nor denies investigations.

What a DB that woman is. That is why I could never have been a cop. Watching that, I could feel my own blood pressure rising.
LOL...”What graduation? What are you talking about?”
That was exactly what went through my own mind when the cop said that!
The five minute video is hilarious, but if you jump to the 4:10 mark of the video, that is how I thought this would play out!
The DUmmies are making like this is a case of “white privilege”, inferring that she is a Republican, conveniently ignoring the fact that she is a Democrat elitist giving the line of “don’t you know who I am”.
NJ is the Soprano State.. The ‘BigShots’ think they are above the law.
