- A New York district attorney refused to stop when a police officer tried to arrest him
- Sandra Doorley said she didn’t feel like stopping and went home instead.
- She explained that she had a hard day dealing with the murders in town.
A New York district attorney refused to stop for a police officer after she was caught speeding because she “didn’t want to” and was stressed about having to deal with murder all day long.
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 zone on time.
Bodycam footage shows the heated exchange – during which Doorley said: “I didn’t want to stop on Phillips Road at 5:30 p.m.” The officer responded, “It’s not your choice…you know that.” Doorley jokingly responded, “I made that my choice.”
According to Doorley, instead of stopping at that point, she decided to call Webster Police Chief Dennis Kohlmeier to tell him she was not a threat and that she would speak to the officer. At her place.
As the officer informs her that she made the situation even worse than it should have been by refusing to stop, Doorley can be heard responding with “just write me the ticket.”

The officer reminded him that it wasn’t just a traffic ticket anymore – and that failing to comply with an officer’s order to stop and stop is a “punishable offense.” ‘arrest’.
Doorley explained that she didn’t see the point in stopping when she was so close to her driveway. “I thought it would be easier. I was wrong,” she said.
Later in the dramatic body camera footage, Doorley can be heard complaining about having a really bad day “dealing with murders in the city.”
Doorley released a statement Thursday in which she admitted to going the speed limit — and again tried to justify her decision, saying the distance was less than a half-mile from her neighborhood.

“No one, including your district attorney, is above the rule of law, even the traffic laws. Everyone who knows me undoubtedly understands that I have dedicated my entire 33-year career to the safety of this community,” she said.
“My work to keep law enforcement safe and respected has been proven time and time again.
“I stand by my job and commitment to the public safety of Monroe County,” Doorley continued.
