This officer earned a bad reputation among Sag Harbor’s wealthy car-brained residents — who called him “the Sag Harbor Nazi” and “little red-headed dipshit” — for *check notes” stopping a guy for making an illegal u-turn and same guy for using a mobile phone while driving. 🙄
Even if these people weren't the worst people in the world, "rookie cop enforces the law more rigidly than a more experienced officer might" is THE FUCKING OPPOSITE OF NEWS!
The wealthy and powerful react like this when laws are enforced against them in the same way, and for the same reason, as a person would if bitten by their own guard dog.
He's a 24-year-old cop doing his job.
To quote a well-worn phrase from other contexts:
"If they don't want to get pulled over, they need to just obey the law."
A traffic cop actually doing their job and not hurting people getting called a Nazi by the same people who tut-tut poor people for “not cooperating with the police”
This cop didn't get the unspoken rules. He thought he should enforce the laws on everyone. He will either stop being a cop or he will learn the unspoken rules. Law enforcement exists to keep a thumb on the lower class and non-whites. Upper class whites can't be having their drunk driving interrupted
