Apparently the laws don’t apply equally to everyone – even in the Garden State.

I hope that he recovers – and I wonder – will the state trooper who was operating the vehicle be fined for allowing someone to ride with him, unrestrained? Were I pulled over with an unbelted rider, I’d be fined.

And to top it off, he had a state trooper as his driver who should have told him to buckle up while being escorted by other state troopers.

Just goes to show you that people can not be protected from their own choices even when they are such political elites.

Now did they give their good govenor a ticket for not wearing his seat belt and if so does he pay for it out of his own pocket?

Maybe he can claim disability if it is determined that he was acting in an official capacity while going to sort out this very important Imus affair.
