A New York official has come under national scrutiny for her behavior toward police during a routine traffic stop, during which she was caught on camera refusing to comply with orders in a now-viral video.
Sandra Doorley, the District Attorney (DA) of Monroe County, New York, was elected in 2011 and has served as the DA since then.
Her name made headlines outside of the upstate New York region following the release of body-worn camera footage showing her refusal to submit to a traffic stop when clocked going 55 mph in a 35 mph zone.
The nearly 30-minute video shows Doorley refusing to pull over for police, leading him instead to her home, and having a heated and contentious exchange with the officer after exiting her car.
In the video, taken April 22 , she tells the officer she has called the chief of police to get him to “leave her alone,” says “she doesn’t care” about her speeding, swears at and insults the officer and tells him she will use her position to throw away the ticket against herself if he does issue it.
