In a remarkable turn of events, the police chief of Tampa, Florida, has resigned after a controversial traffic stop incident. Chief Mary O’Connor was pulled over while riding in a golf cart without a license plate on November 12. Footage from the deputy’s body camera shows O’Connor identifying herself as the police chief and asking for leniency, saying, “I’m hoping that you’ll just let us go tonight,” while flashing her badge. The incident drew swift condemnation from Mayor Jane Castor, who stated it is unacceptable for public officials to seek special treatment. Following an internal review, O’Connor resigned at the mayor’s request. Watch to learn more about this unfolding story and the implications of such actions within law enforcement.
