New York District Attorney Sandra Doorley, who prosecutes people in her county, readily admitted she didn’t care that she was breaking the law.
She was driving 20 miles over the speed limit on a local street, and when a cop tried to pull her over, she refused to do so. He followed her to her home and she was incensed.
“I thought no one would ever pull a black SUV.” Didn’t the police officer know that she was important?
NEW: New York District Attorney Sandra Doorley runs from the police after an officer tried pulling her over, says she should get special treatment because she is the DA.
This is what you call a Corrupt Karen.

The exchange with the officer, caught on body camera, was a perfect encapsulation of how bad things have gotten with elite privilege in America. A white-collar lawyer dresses down a blue-collar policeman for doing his job.
The upstate prosecutor started taking heat last week when bodycam footage captured her bratty encounter with the police officer, who allegedly clocked her doing 55 mph in a 35 mph zone.
Doorley refused to stop and drove home, where she called the cop “an a–hole,” taunted him that “I know the law better than you” when the unnamed officer asked for her ID.
She then called Webster Police Chief Dennis Kohlmeier to complain and put him on the phone with the henpecked police officer, the footage shows.
Despite the prosecutor’s tantrum, she was issued the traffic ticket and ultimately paid off the fine — but only after the explosive video went viral and prompted a flood of calls for her resignation.
This is the ultimate “Do you know who I am?” encounter. She doesn’t even try to deny that she was breaking the law. She readily admits it, and that she just doesn’t care a bit that she is.
She is among the elect.
The transcript of the encounter is a wonder to behold.
You know what I’ve been dealing with all day? Three murders in the city. And do you think I really care if I was going 20 miles over the speed limit?
POLICEMAN: I’m just doing my job. If you pulled, if you pulled over when you saw my lights, which obviously you did.
I thought you were going somewhere else because I thought no one would ever pull a black SUV if you ran my plate.
POLICEMAN I didn’t run your plate, I just called your plate out. And then I’m following you because you’re not stopping.
Alright, alright, bye. Bye. Hi. Hi, I’ll talk to Jeff. Sorry, I didn’t want to pull over. I’m, I’m filtered. It was just, I just didn’t, I figured I’d just pull up to my driveway. And I called Dennis and I said, That’s me that they’re trying to stop.
Okay. So that’s, that’s the story.
POLICEMAN: Okay, but you should know better, right?
I was skating. I always, I don’t, I know that.
POLICEMAN: Okay, so why didn’t you just stop like you’re supposed to?
Because I didn’t feel like stopping on Phillips Road at 5. 30.
POLICEMAN: That’s not your choice. You know that.
Well, I made it my choice. Okay
“I made it my choice.”
She tried to get out of it by calling the police chief, but that didn’t work either, although she did manage to avoid getting arrested.
New York State prosecutors have been in the news a lot lately, loudly proclaiming that nobody is above the law. What a joke. What they mean, rather, is that they get to decide who the law applies to, and it certainly isn’t them.
Sandra Doorley has been catching a lot of flak for obvious reasons. Citizens don’t seem to have the same opinion about her being above the law as she.
Doorley has released a statement praising herself for her dedication to the law:
Doorley said she pleaded guilty by 1 p.m. Tuesday and “sent the ticket to the Webster Town Court because I believe in accepting responsibility for my actions and had no intention of using my position to receive a benefit.”
Nobody, including your District Attorney, is above the rule of law, even traffic laws. Anybody who knows me understands without a doubt that I have dedicated my entire 33 year career to the safety of this community. My work to ensure the safety and respect of law enforcement is well proven time and time again. I stand by my work and stand by my commitment to the public safety of Monroe County.
Respect for law enforcement? She called him an a**hole when he showed up to ticket her.
Imagine how differently this would have turned out if there weren’t body camera footage of the incident. Do you think for a second that she would have given in?
As she said to the officer: “I’m the one who prosecutes it, okay?”
I think we all know what that means.
