- A New York District Attorney Refused to Stop When a Police Officer Tried to Detain Her
- Sandra Doorley said she didn’t feel like stopping and drove home.
- He explained that he had had a difficult day dealing with murders in the city.
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 having to deal with murders all day.
Monroe County Prosecutor Sandra Doorley had a tense interaction with a Webster police officer Monday after the officer attempted to pull her over for driving 55 miles per hour in a 35 mile 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 jokingly responded: “I made it by choice.”
According to Doorley, instead of stopping at that point, he decided to call Webster Police Chief Dennis Kohlmeier to tell him he was not a threat and that he would speak to the officer at his home.
When the officer informs her that she made the situation bigger than necessary by refusing to stop, Doorley can be heard responding with “just write me the traffic ticket.”

Bodycam footage shows the heated exchange, in which Doorley said: “I didn’t feel like stopping on Phillips Road at 5.30.”
The officer reminded him that it was no longer just a traffic ticket and that failure to comply with an officer’s order to stop and stop is an “arrestable offense.”
Doorley explained that he didn’t see the point in stopping when it was so close to his driveway. ‘I thought it would be easier. I was wrong,’ he said.
Later in the dramatic body camera footage, Doorley can be heard complaining that he’s had a really bad day “dealing with murders in the city.”
Doorley issued a statement Thursday in which he admitted he had exceeded the speed limit and again tried to justify his decision, saying the distance was less than a half mile from his neighborhood.

‘No one, not even your district attorney, is above the rule of law, not even traffic laws. “Anyone who knows me understands without a doubt that I have dedicated my entire 33-year career to the safety of this community,” he said.
‘My work to ensure the safety and respect of law enforcement is well demonstrated time and time again.
“I stand behind my work and remain committed to the public safety of Monroe County,” Doorley continued.
A spokesperson for the Monroe County Prosecutor’s Office referred to Doorley’s statement accepting responsibility.
