Do You Know Who I Am? NJ Politicians on Dashcams

If you ever get bored at night, and you're looking for something entertaining to watch, I highly recommend going to YouTube, and searching dashcam videos.  I promise you there is no better entertainment on television today.  Here are some highlights:

Don't Call Me Miss, I'm commissioner.  Starring Caren Z. Turner

Her adult daughter was a passenger in a car driven by a friend when it was pulled over by Tenafly police.  Evidently, the car's registration had expired two years earlier, and they didn't seem to have an insurance card.  Turner showed up and proclaimed that she was a friend of the mayor and a PA commissioner over 4,000 officers.  She resigned her position a week after the dash cam footage became public, the PA Chair apologized to the officers, and she was fined $1500. by the ethics commission.

I'm The Chancellor!

In 2019, Rutgers-Newark chancellor Nancy Cantor was a passenger in a car that was involved in a minor accident involving a police car.  The officer followed proper protocol and insisted on waiting for her supervisor.  Ms. Cantor made sure to announce she was the chancellor, and she was far too busy to wait.  The chancellor was quick to point out that she was being chauffeured in a campus police vehicle.  While waiting for the supervisor, you can hear one of her two assistants lecturing the officer about how she should handle the situation.  Proving just how pompous and unaware some people are, the assistant asked the officer if this is how she'd have treated the President of the US?  Several months later Cantor issued an apology to the campus police.

I'm a Sitting Assemblywoman

A fender bender on route 73 in 2017 turned into a internet video seen over 5 million times.  Assemblywoman Maria Rodriguez-Gregg was rear ended in what should have been a routine episode.  You knew this was going to get interesting, when she began fixing her hair and applying lip gloss while talking to the Mount Laurel police officer.  When officers informed her, they think they detect the smell of marijuana, they asked for permission to conduct a search.  She consented, and if she was clean, this would have exonerated her.  All she had to do was keep quiet.  Want to guess how this ended?  Grab some popcorn and watch the video.
