@celtpilot A "law enforcement" official. Who does the governor think he is? What gives him the right to speed? Nothing. Look at comparable titles. What are they? :"First Citizen" They have no right to break the law. It goes all the way to the top, no matter station nor title. All are bound to obey. It should be especially to those who lead.

why does the governor have deck lights on his car?

[Chillymak]

Those were not deck lights on the governors car, those were reflections from state patrol car, i thought so too at first. This prick governor is an ELECTED official, still a citizen and should be and is in fact held to same standards and laws us the rest of us. I don't blame statey though, you think he would still have a job if governor called his supervisor?

@truthsayerize i was wondering the same thing but i could be wrong but i dont think there allowed to write state officials tickets or anything like that not cause there higher up on the food chain but if the held him up going through the ticket writeing proses it would just give an assian an easy target......is it wrong hell yes but what can you do sorry about my spelling btw

@truthsayerize If that trooper issued the governor a ticket that Trooper would no longer have a job.

Look at the wolves starting to attack each other. I guarantee Americans will be seeing more of this to come in the future..

I don't mean any harm guys but we all have to realize that the world has changed tremendously for our leaders. I live 15 minutes from D.C. a witness the 2 or 3 suburban Secret Service motorcades all the time going faster than the speed limit. A reliable source tells me they do this to ensure no one is following them. Maybe the Governor's security is doing the same thing, and if so I,....no WE,...should stand behind him 100%. Remember the guy trying to assasinate that female senator last year

@AKinkognito If one guy bailed out his buddy, I don't think he'd be doing his election chances much good. It'd have to be a pretty good buddy to do something like that knowing that the media would be all over it and the people would hate it.

Ok if u cant give him a ticket for speeding then atleast arrest him for wearing a pissugly tie!

@roarimataco

can governors not pardon themselves? If the governor is impeach then imprisoned wouldn't his buddy (Lt gov now promoted to Gov) pardon his buddy? Its kind of like how you will never see the president of the United States put in prison. The closest we got recently was when bill Clinton committed perjury and was impeached. If he would have been put in jail for his crime im sure the vice president would have pardoned him? Its like a losing battle them guys are protected to much.
