An arrogant New York District Attorney refused to stop for a cop after she was caught speeding because she ‘didn’t feel like it’ and was stressed from dealing with murders all day.
Monroe County DA Sandra Doorley had a tense interaction with a Webster police officer on Monday after the cop tried to pull her over for driving 55 miles per hour in a 35 miles per hour zone.
Bodycam footage shows the heated exchange – in which Doorley said ‘I didn’t feel like stopping on Phillips Road at 5:30.’ The officer responded ‘That’s not your choice… you know that.’ Doorley quipped back ‘I made it my choice.’
According to Doorley, instead of pulling over at the time she decided to call Webster Police Chief Dennis Kohlmeier to say she was not a threat and would talk to the officer back at her house.
As the officer informs her that she made the situation a bigger deal than it needed to be by refusing to pull over, Doorley can be heard responding with ‘just write me the traffic ticket.’

The officer reminded her that it was no longer just a traffic ticket – and that not complying with an officer’s order to stop and pull over is an ‘arrestable offense.’
Doorley explained that she didn’t see the point in pulling over when she was so close to her driveway. ‘I thought it would be easier. I was wrong,’ she said.
Later in the dramatic bodycam footage, Doorley can be heard complaining that she’s had a really bad day ‘dealing with murders in the city.’
Doorley released a statement on Thursday in which she admitted she had gone over the speed limit – and again tried to justify her decision, saying the distance was less than half a mile from her neighborhood.

‘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,’ she said.
‘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,’ Doorley continued.
A spokesperson from the Monroe County District Attorney’s Office referred to Doorley’s statement in which she accepted responsibility.
