replay of 2006.... these situations reveal the culture of NJ government which selects seriously flawed appointees and voters seriously flawed elected officials. It is only partisan politics that exposes these situations not the pretense of an ethical government


"TRENTON, N.J. — New Jersey’s attorney general resigned Tuesday after a special prosecutor concluded she violated state ethics laws by intervening in a traffic stop involving her boyfriend.
Zulima Farber, who will step down at the end of the month, said she is leaving office “out of respect for the governor” and not because she was asked to do so."

No threat at all. Your point?

The point is, the punishment does not fit the violation.


A monetary fine, along with a stern verbal warning, would have more than sufficed.

Like a moth at a lightbulb, you keep coming back and hitting yourself in the head.

OK, so let's play your silly game.

Let's say the cops let this guy drive off as you wished. He hits a car at the next corner. Lo and behold it's someone in YOUR family. As they're carted off in an ambulance, you catch wind of the prior traffic stop and that some Port Authority muckety-muck talked the cops out of impounding the car.

This guy is in an unregistered and uninsured vehicle. Oh yeah, the grad student probably doesn't have much to his name, not that such a wonderful person like you would ever file suit.

Now, set your little halo on your head and tell us your reaction...

Well, I for one, like to see the cops do their job. I'm proud of those two. I just regret that they didn't succinctly advise her that:

1) Ma'am this does not concern you OR your daughter.
2) Please get back in your car and leave.
3) If not, you'll be cited for failing to follow the instructions of a police office (another Title 39 offense).
4) If she would like, she may discuss the incident with a supervisor AT the police station.
5) If you do not leave in 5 minutes, we will bring you to the police station and impound your call as well (unless she delegates one of the people in the other car to drive it).

We've got enough people that "think" they're above the law. Time to call them out and hold them to task.

Nah, I'm not hitting myself in the head -- it's just apparent that this forum is populated by obedient zombies, who would quickly give up their freedom for "security".

That's actually not what this is about at all.

There's a car on the road that's not registered and therefore not insured. It shouldn't be on the road, period.

You want to build your own jalopy with tape and hope and drive it around your yard? Awesome, have at it. But don't bring that thing on public roads where cars have a bare minimum of responsibility for ownership. Registering a car is not difficult, avoiding is is simply being a lazy cheapskate, not celebrating your freedoms, and it's shady logic for you to claim that's where your concerns are.

I mean, I assume your car isn't registered so you can celebrate your freedom, right? And you don't pay any of that tricky insurance, right?

I disagree,that does nothing to protect the other drivers on the road from someone "NOT FOLLOWING" the law.
