But he's an advocate for social justice! The people richly deserve these wolves in sheep's clothing.

Just days after Mayor Bill de Blasio announced an aggressive plan to prevent traffic deaths, CBS 2 cameras caught the driver of a car carrying the mayor violating a number of traffic laws.

But the NYPD responded Thursday evening that the mayor’s caravan, which is operated by police, sometimes has to use special driving techniques for protective reasons.

As CBS 2′s Marcia Kramer reported Thursday, the mayor’s two-car caravan was seen speeding, blowing through stop signs, and violating other traffic laws. Kramer reported that if the driver of the lead car, which carried the mayor in its passenger seat, had been cited, he would have racked up enough points to get his license suspended.

When the mayor announced his 62-point safe streets initiative, which includes lowering the speed limit to 25 mph, he said, “We want the public to know that we are holding ourselves to this standard.”

But Kramer reported the mayor failed to practice what he preached Thursday.

Yeah but he had an important reason -
“I’ve got to go to the gym.” :rolleyes:

Contrast with:

(Isn't it also illegal in NYC to walk while using a cellphone or ipod?)

...the mayor’s caravan, which is operated by police, sometimes has to use special driving techniques for protective reasons.There will ALWAYS be excuses for government to break laws.

There is no 'rule of law' in America, not based on what you may have done, but based purely on who you are.

Thanks, Bill! Some new spin on the old "limousine liberal" saw is much appreciated!

DiBlasio is the fucking immaculate picture of a corrupt politician.

Fuck this guy.

The police are always violating traffic laws. Fuck those assholes. They can get away with anything and can make up any bullshit excuse for why they're putting other drivers in danger.

I don't understand why they think he wouldn't be safe in New York City. It's the only city that loves him. Now if he were to travel somewhere else . . . does that Caravan turn into a tank?

It's all dependent upon your physical compliance.

Probably afraid of getting shot at a stop sign. There are lots of city neighborhoods you don't stop at stop signs in.

Remember when a NJ governor's car got in an accident for breaking traffic laws? Yeah, neither do I.
