A video released by a New Jersey police department shows a Washington lobbyist who was a primary fundraiser for Hillary Clinton’s presidential run resigned her commissionership as Port Authority commissioner after being caught cursing out police on video.
You may shut the f— up!” fumed the lobbyist, Caren Turner, at a Tenafly, NJ, cop during a March 31 traffic stop of a car in which Turner’s daughter had been a passenger.
“You’re an ass,” Turner later told the officer, according to a police report released Wednesday. “Look at that smug-ass look on your face.”
Turner, 60, had become increasingly frustrated and angry after police politely declined to discuss in detail why they had pulled over that car, which was being impounded after being found to have an expired registration.
A police dash-cam video — which has gone viral — shows Turner, who lives in Tenafly, arriving in her own vehicle just as police were finishing up ticketing the driver for violations that included failure to have a current insurance car, driving an unregistered vehicle, and driving with the license plate obscured.
And she promptly began taking a peremptory tone, dropping names and mentioning her position as a commissioner of the Port Authority of New York & New Jersey. She also flashed a gold badge from the PA at the cops.
The Port Authority operates all three major New York area airports, river crossings between Manhattan and New Jersey, and the World Trade Center site in New York.

This woman is in the wrong number one she doesn’t own the car. Two, she has no realizations with the Driver her daughter in the back seat. All she had to do was to ask her daughter’s Bf what happened as beeping a commissioner in NJ should know the laws and better respect those laws. I believe this woman should resign or better yet get fired for thinking she is above the law.
Hard to find a liberal that Respects any thing.
She needs to be fired. She’s darn lucky she didn’t get arrested. He asked for id, she refused to provide it, that is a misdemeanor in most states. She hasn’t proved she has any relationship to any of the people involved other than a verbal statement she backed up against his vehicle and invaded his space to the oint he hased her to back up. I m shocked she wasn’t cuffed
Typical Democratic mindset. I am above the law.
