Port Authority commissioner confronts police during N.J. traffic stop

Caren Z. Turner, a Democratic lobbyist from Tenafly, has resigned as a commissioner from the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, after an investigation was opened into what agency officials would only describe as “profoundly disturbing conduct.” Turner’s resignation allegedly involved her intervention in a recent traffic stop in connection with her daughter. Turner apparently flashed her Port Authority badge in an effort to intercede with police officers on the scene.

Hmm, I wonder how long I would still be standing if I had done that to an officer.

Sometimes its easier to ‘take one for the team’, no matter if you were not wrong.

This woman lives in Tenafly, a very wealthy suburb not far from New York City. If one were to drive from Manhattan through the George Washington Bridge and then take 10-15 minutes north, once in NJ, to where her house is located, one would go from an urban, working-class, not very desirable area to a neighborhood marked by houses that sell from a low of $600k to over $1m.

This explains her attitude. She’s well-off and was in a position of privilege (to borrow leftist terminology) and utterly condescended to those LEOs. According to YouTube commenters, she threw in that the adult children in that car were studying at MIT – further attempts to show the LEOs how “high” and “special” she and her kids were.

I read her non-apology on NJ.com. She’s only sorry she got caught and was forced to leave her job.

Disgusting, entitled, arrogant Democrat. Typical of the moneyed elitists who voted for Hillary Clinton. And yes, I agree with Wip – if a man had acted that way, he would been on the receiving end of physical force from LEOs. She used not only her job to attempt to intimidate those LEOs, but used her gender knowing that it’d be far more difficult for the LEOs to physically subdue a woman.

People like her are all over her part of NJ.

Awww. The kids are students of degrees at prestigious universities.
An uppity female in a position of authority tried to exert influence, flash a superiority badge, enforce a hypocritical double standard, lay down a guilt trip, and failed to realize the eye in the sky video dash cam captures evidence of all that, plus the final act of desperation…devolving into name calling and threats.
Epic self inflicted crash and burn, ending ultimately in her resignation.
Buh-bye.
Score one for karma and justice.

Have to say tazing would have been a guilty pleasure that would have totally negated the outcome.
The way it played out was perfect. Couldn’t have been planned any better.
Karma is truly a cruel bitch.

As much as I wish they’d have bashed her in the face a few times and then stomped on her neck and put her in a choke hold, you’re probably right.

Nice comments from the sheep.
Knuckle your brow, back away, and move along.

Looks a little different to me.
The cops are obnoxious pricks who refuse to answer a simple question, refuse to give a short explanation, refuse to deescalate the confrontation, and it’s all her fault?
Absolutely typical “I’m the cop and fuck you” attitude, even with a member of another agency.
Any regular “citizen”, particularly a male, would be cuffed, roughed, and in custody.
OH, I feel sooo protected and served.

Not this time. This time they had the patience of Job while this nasty cunt got in their business and tried to use her connections to ensure that some privileged little shithead got treated better than one of us little people. Typical leftist behavior, BTW.

Even if the LEOs were somehow in the wrong for refusing to answer a question, Caren Z. Turner lost any moral advantage at the moment she flaunted her badge and further lost it when she threw out the irrelevant facts that the young adults present were at MIT and Yale. If they were at some 2-year community colleges, would she have mentioned those schools’ names?

Furthermore, she tried to lord it over them by reminding them of her job and the fact that she supposedly oversees 4k LEOs – she was implying that with the power she had over Port Authority police, she could likewise make things hard for them by pulling certain strings she had access to thanks to the connections she enjoyed by virtue of her now former office.

She also took advantage of her gender by calling one of the LEOs “sweetheart.” If a man were to address a female LEO that way, it would not end well.

Finally, you yourself said a male would be roughed up. She didn’t have a fingertip placed on her because she’s a woman.

Caren Z. Turner is an embarrassment, and while I’ve had my encounters with less than pleasant LEOs, by far the LEOs I’ve dealt with were always sufficiently courteous. No wonder so many LEOs from all over the United States have expressed support for those NJ police officers.

I hope Turner never holds any positions like the one she just lost. I’m biased and I admit it. I don’t want Hillary lobbyists/fundraisers in positions of power, even if it is in a blue state like soon-to-be sanctuary state like New Jersey.

This is a tough one. Who is the bigger asshole? The liberal bitch trying to use her position in power against the Heros. Or the Heros who are going to impound a car for “unclear” plates.

Too bad an 18-wheeler didn’t come around the curve and take them all out.

she’s probably a upper middle class bitch who feels that she is entitled–
having said that,i wonder if those are local yokels who stop out of area vehicles for the slightest provocation?
i do not have a problem w/that if it is for crime prevention & not revenue enhancement,but i would like to know the back story on that–

Those cops are local LEOs and Turner’s a Tenafly resident. She specified in her verbal threats to the cops that she’s a friend of the mayor. If she’s so invested in her town she should’ve known LEOs would stop vehicles for unclear plates however odd or shady that in itself might be.

Reminds of the airlines gal at the reservations counter.

Huge line of agitated customers, needing urgent help to find new flight plans.

A vain dickhead cuts the line, and demands immediate help, believing he’s more important than the others.

Counter gal politely says: “Sir, if you need to change your flight plans, you’ll need to get in line behind these people who were here before you, who need help and are waiting patiently.”

Dickhead leans in, and threatens her with the old: “Do you know who I am?” line.

She says:
“No, but let me get on the PA system, and I’ll ask if anybody can identify you, to help you answer that.”

He says “Fuck you!”…loud and clear.

She responds with:
“I’m sorry Sir, but you’ll have go to the end of the line for that, too”

The reason the vehicle was stopped and is being impounded would generally be public information . The 2 LEO’s could have defused the privileged woman with a simple statement of fact and the charge . But noooo why make it simple and shut her up on the spot ! The LEO’s should have been the ADULTS in this confrontation . As for my opinion they were all childish brats ! Perhaps a foot up the ass for her and her sniviling children , children???? I was working the deck of an oil tanker at 18 married and had and apartment before 21 ! All involved need to grow the fuck up !

Such irony. This is representative of what citizens of NJ get for ethics.

Turner, 60, a Democratic lobbyist who served as the ETHICS CHAIR of the powerful bi-state agency, could not be reached for comment Tuesday and the phone number of her Washington public affairs office has been disconnected. No one came to her front door when a reporter knocked on Tuesday.

She definitely resigned, with a salary probably north of $200K. Ouch. That was a lesson in ethics that won’t soon be forgotten.

The LEO’s placated her nonsense for far too long. But I’m glad the world got to see an entitled bitch in action.
