New York Gov. Kathy Hochul (D) wants to launch a state investigation into the Monroe County district attorney who failed to pull over for a traffic stop.
A Webster, New York, police officer attempted to pull over Monroe County District Attorney Sandra Doorley who was allegedly driving 55 mph in a 35 mph zone near her home on April 22.
According to Fox News, Doorley, a Republican, allegedly did not stop until she pulled her SUV into her garage even though an officer was behind her with lights and sirens.
The video from the officer, obtained by WXXI through a Freedom of Information Act request, shows Doorley calling Webster Police Chief Dennis Kohlmeier.
“Can you please tell him to leave me alone?” she asked.
She explained to the officer she was on the phone with Kohlmeier when he attempted to pull her over. The officer then mentioned she should not be on the phone while driving.
“You’re not even supposed to be on the phone to begin with,” the officer said.
“I’m hands free. Absolutely. You should know the law,” she said.
“If it is hands free, that’s great. But at the end of the day you were going 55 in a 35. That’s 20 miles over the speed limit,” the officer said.
