Speed limits are kind of like the 15 drink per day limit on the Carnival Cruise line. Is it annoying? Sure, but at some point you recognize that limits are placed on people to ensure public safety. As nice as it is to get home right after work, going 20 miles over the speed limit invites cops who are zealous (or need to meet quota) to pull you over and wave their fingers at you. Everyone knows this, especially lawyers. That didn\u2019t prevent Sandra Doorley from trying to \u201cDo you know who I am?\u201d her way out of a traffic violation. Back in April of last year, we covered her tantrum and subsequent apology<\/a> for her behavior. As it turns out, sorry just didn\u2019t cut it. Law.com<\/a> has coverage:<\/p>\n

New York\u2019s prosecutorial misconduct watchdog issued its long-awaited first public adjudication on Tuesday, announcing that Monroe County District Attorney Sandra Doorley has agreed that she should be censured for seeking special treatment during an attempted police stop for speeding.<\/p>\n

Doorley has indicated her intent to retire, according to the determination by the Commission on Prosecutorial Conduct.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

If you haven\u2019t seen the traffic stop, you can watch the cop cam footage of her getting indignant about being told she can\u2019t go 55 in a 35:<\/p>\n
