TENAFLY, N.J. -- A Port Authority of New York and New Jersey commissioner who abruptly resigned last week was caught on camera cursing at two police officers during a traffic stop. The Tenafly Police Department released the video Tuesday showing Caren Turner attempting to pull rank on the officers.

Turner's daughter was a passenger in a car that was pulled over for an expired registration March 31. Turner was apparently called to the site of the traffic stop to pick up her daughter and her friends.

The video also shows the Democratic lobbyist becoming increasingly agitated with the responding officers.

"You're just here as the ride, right?" one officer asks Turner when she introduced herself.

1. Wow

Entitled much?

My child and her friend are PhD students at Yale and MIT! Refer to me as commissioner! I'm very involved.

Is it wrong of me that I wish they threw her to the ground?

2. Even though police didn't do anything...

I think this lady's reaction has doomed her. She did it to herself and no one else is to blame. Gosh...and she's supposedly able to handle politics, eh?

3. What struck me was her statement after resigning

"I encourage the Tenafly Police Department to review best practices with respect to tone and de-escalation, so that incidents like this do not recur."

Seemed to me that the officer employed such skills multiple times in the face of her "do you KNOW who I AM???!!!?" antics.
