State Sen. Eric Schneiderman -- a candidate for attorney general, the highest law-enforcement post in New York -- was involved in a minor car accident outside the New York 1 studios in Chelsea and then fled the scene, the cable news station reported last night.

In Wake Of Goldman Scandal, Unions Push For Expansion Of Martin Act
Under current New York law, only the Attorney General has the power to sue investment firms under the act. But the legislation introduced last June by Assembly Member Richard Brodsky and State Sen. Eric Schneiderman would allow groups of institutional investors of over 500 people a six-year statute of limitations to sue for alleged wrongdoing using the Martin Act.

The damaged cars owner, Melissa Rabinovich, an executive editor for NY1, said it had $3,000 in damage: a cracked bumper, a damaged back panel and a cracked left taillight. She filed a police report and called Mr. Schneidermans office on Tuesday after tracing the license plate, which a witness had noted.
He said he was sorry for the bump to my car, and I told him it wasnt a bump, Ms. Rabinovich said. He went on to explain to me that the female who was driving the car was crying and he was sorry. I told him I was crying when I saw the damage.
I have three children under 7, including a 4-year-old who is severely disabled and doesnt walk. This minivan is our lifeline of transportation for him.
In a statement, James Freedland, a spokesman for the senator, disputed the seriousness. For New York 1 to call this a hit and run is nothing short of outrageous, he said.
He said that Ms. Kagan merely bumped Ms. Rabinovichs minivan and that the senator had no idea any damage had occurred. He has spoken with the owner of the other vehicle, expressed his sincere apology and offered to pay for all repairs, he said.
Eric Schneiderman on Progressive Politics
Paging Glenn Beck...
And I’ve got a question: If the car fled the scene, how do the cops know who was in the car and/or behind the wheel?
In other words, dispite the misleading headline, the DRIVER is the one liable and is Kagan's neice.
Oh for goodness sake!
You hit, you left. Hit and run. Get used to it.
Uhhh... I... Was... Not... Aware... Of... The... Collision.
And he let her drive? Wonder what caused the tears and why would he casually become a passenger? Somethin' ain't right!
Maybe he hired 22-year-old Rachel Kagan so he could learn how to relate to his daughter.
Or not....

Whottaya tryin' ta say, S-C? "Laws are for the small people"?

I would imagine that would be more than a simple tire scuff mark...lol
As Spock’s dad might say, “law enforcement in New York is a unique point of view, Mister President”.
(2 car, 3 Jew accident. I can use naughty words in Yiddish.)
Nothing to see here, move on, just genuflect before your superiors, thank you, move on, move on, thank you move on.......
