Port authority Commissioner tries to intimidate and bully two traffic cops for pulling over and impounding a car owned by her daughter’s friends. When she doesn’t get her way, she implies that she will make sure the cops face consequences for their actions. Happy the cops stood their ground against such hubris.

A New Jersey police department has released a video showing a former Port Authority commissioner and ex-Hillary Clinton aide trying to use her position to threaten officers who pulled over her daughter’s friend during a traffic stop on Easter weekend.
The remarkable video released by the Tenafly Police Department shows Caren Z. Turner, 60, a Democratic Party lobbyist, flash her badge and boast of her connections to the chief of police and the local mayor while berating two officers who pulled over a car whose Nevada registration had expired.
The car was driven by a male friend of her daughter, who was a passenger in the back seat.
