Right. She's given out "hundreds of cards in any traffic incidents" she is at, how many other times has she been given a pass? I want to be clear how many other cops let her slide.
Is America now teaching Nigerians and Albanians lessons on corruption? Not the best advertising for a country purported to consider itself “The greatest nation on earth “! No thanks!
How did this woman become Chief of Police for a large city? At the very least her credentials should show experience in the very basics of being a cop and knowing the rules. To not know that you have to register a four-wheeler is knowledgeable to even a middle school child. People are saying but it was a golf cart. Which any recreational vehicle has specific regulations to be able to drive them on the road and anyone that has drove them on the road know whether it was legal or not. Perhaps she was playing dumb but she was being stupid. As Forrest Gump's mother would say stupid is what stupid does.
Tbf these golf carts are mostly driven on private property in gated communities (and they were mere yards away from their community) her husband should have known better and she should have just kept her mouth shut (she wasn't even liable for the ticket as she wasn't driving) but it's something that most normal ppl would just get a warning for as well given the circumstances.

Listening to her interview was like an 8th grader reading their book report ....Castor , you should be removed/voted out of office. This was the person that you thought was the most qualified ? You knew of her past but chose her anyway. Her lack of professionalism and ethics came back to bite you and her. When hiring a person as a Chief of Police there is no second chances Mayor , we the citizens of Tampa deserve better, second chances is something you give to children not to a head Law Enforcement Official. You're a Mayor ,you work for us just Like Bob and Iorio did, ..... Clearly you were playing the "buddy system" in giving her that job. If not then your selection and decisions process is poorly lacking, at best...
100%! Mayor Castor definitely needs to go! Her response was juvenile and full of lies! The fact that she was allowed to continue her career in Tampa after her incident in '95 is a joke! Okay, she gets a second chance. Fine. She should have never been appointed Chief of anything. Mayor Jane Castor proves once again that she is not fit to lead Tampa. Who votes for these people!
No she doesn't. A man wouldn't resign. In fact, there are numerous examples of male offenders in many different careers who simple refuse to quit when confronted w/egregious behavior. Since the deck clearly isn't stacked fairly, it's time for women to start behaving likewise.
Police ALWAYS identify to the stopping officer. It is expected as a "professional" courtesy that the stop will be ended with NO tickets. The business card was extended as one favor for another.
She spoke too much. All she had to do during the stop was answer questions eventually being identified. But the fact she was so eager to boast about her title bit her in the butt. Good riddance!
Ding Dong 🤷♂️🤷♂️🤷♂️🤷♂️🤷♂️ so if she doesn’t have an understanding of the law and she’s the top cop, just imagine how the people are under her! 🤷♂️🤷♂️🤷♂️🙄🙄🙄
So the cop who let her go suffers no consequences? Clearly, she's participating in the good ole boy blue code, but because she's not a boy, she gets booted out.
Whenever s cop gets pulled over they all look to get some "professional courtesy" by flashing their badge, sometimes that works this time it exploded in her face , I suspect she will be replaced and she will be demoted
Everyone talking bad about her “ it’s cool when they do it but it’s not when she does it “ if this is the case let’s talk about the Clearwater cop who was arrested drunk driving
She could have just accepted the small ticket and would still be able to be living her life as a normal crooked LEO. The ego can really do big things 😂
A whole ‘Chief of police’ doesn’t know from all her years in law enforcement that golf carts CANNOT be driven on public streets as unregistered vehicles but us as civilians without any law enforcement background know this?🤔 I call b.s! Willful ignorance.
"If you ever need anything ...call me ". What exactly does that mean ?!? Also, how does she NOT know any rules/laws/regulations regarding the illegal use of golf carts ?!? Isn't knowing the traffic rules part of her position ? If she did not know, she should have found out prior to going out in public with it. She should have lead by example, and honestly, it agitates me because woman have to work in certain fields 10 times harder to be taken seriously. Many will not admit that there is a gender bias in certain career fields, but there is definitely an unspoken preference. By her behavior, police legitimacy is yet again..questioned.
Several problems with this. 1. She's only appointed because of affirmative action and feminism. 2. As chief of police, let her drive a golf cart. No big deal. Can't blame her for honestly trying to talk her way out of a ticket. 3 During the interview with the captain, she should have been straight forward and said, "I'm the fucking chief of police......yea, I did it and I'll do it again. Now kiss my feminist, undeserving of this job, ass!"
Now that some of the rot has been clean ed out of TPD, its time for TPD Officer Spencer Adkinson to pay restitution for not working his full shift; my complaint against him for this was SUSTAINED, ALWAYS film the police. They can run, but they can't hide.
Chief "Karen" thought that she was gonna get away with anything. I'm glad that it didn't work this time.

💯
She was not the "operator" of the golf cart. What exactly did she get away with? Not trying to be arrogant, I just don't know the whole story.
Ya, tell me that this was the first and only time that she pulled her badge and expected preferential treatment.

I agree, when I was young, I rode my minibike on the street, and I got a ticket for it believe me I’ve learned my lesson. Back then in the 70s.

Promotion based on gender
Man she's have to many excuses and stuttering moments
Talking in circles, and no answers given. Typical blue law there. SMH
She knew the jig was up she messed up badly to bad they couldn’t fire her sooner in the spot

Couldn’t have said it better myself she definitely created more damage to the department
So why didn’t they get a ticket? Why didn’t the officer follow through
She should have never been hired, or even considered. Another black eye for the corrupt TPD.
That is abuse of power need to get rid of her
She already resigned
She said" If you ever need anything call me". That's the same as you wash my back and I'll wash yours.....lol
Power really can be perverted
Damn didn’t she just get the Job?
8 months sure go fast but bad behavior made her exit nice and quick good riddance
We should look into that Sheriff to see how many traffic stops he’s conducted and how many people he let go without a ticket.
I saw a report about this. They issue citations on about 20% of their traffic stops. They were pretty consistent over the last few years.
She needs to resign this is an abuse of power. People like her need to go. We don’t get a pass so why should she? I’ll wait.
She already resigned.
No she doesn't. A man wouldn't resign. In fact, there are numerous examples of male offenders in many different careers who simple refuse to quit when confronted w/egregious behavior. Since the deck clearly isn't stacked fairly, it's time for women to start behaving likewise.

The deputy should be punished also.
but she's a strong and independent woman !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Not really. She wouldn't have resigned if she were.
The main thing she would do different, if there was ever a next time, she would make sure that the body camera is turned OFF.
To Chief of Umm Tampa Police, MBA holder: *There ARE so many reasons... *an improper statement
It's a big club and you're not part of it
She spoke too much. All she had to do during the stop was answer questions eventually being identified. But the fact she was so eager to boast about her title bit her in the butt. Good riddance!

does not appear she was ever qualified to be chief of anything
what about the pig who let her go? You notice nothing is happening to him. Hmmm, I wonder what the difference is.
@@LibbyRal libby.....sorry you went to jail or got tickets along the way of life
@@user-ly4bz9fw3k that's called an ad hominem attack and has nothing to do with the validity of my statement. It's also wrong, so there's that.
@@LibbyRal you got me....i am just an old scchool big city robbery detective....myself i never wrote or bothered an officer of any dept
@@user-ly4bz9fw3k so are you saying that you granted 'professional courtesy' to others in law enforcement?
It's called entitlement
Why is it so hard to understand 😕
Biggest problem ever
Most 👮♂️cops think they are God.
Way too many bad apples on the force
And one of those is the scofflaw who let her go. But HE's not getting punished, is HE?
@@LibbyRal No he is not but he should be. The sheriff is protecting him
Not an original Florida accent
Where ever she's from, they are comfortable with corruption and lack of ethics.
Imagine how much other stuff she got away with......
"I'm the chief of police" while inserting that smirk=psychotic
Those hundreds of TPC business cards she passed out are now on their way to the city of Tampa Solid Waste.
The mayor should go to her poor judgment didn't help the department
Obviously she couldn’t lie her way out of this one.
It would’ve been better had she just owned up to it lol 😂🤣😭 this is crazy
So the cop who let her go suffers no consequences? Clearly, she's participating in the good ole boy blue code, but because she's not a boy, she gets booted out.
This Has Worked Numerous Times Before!!
See, it’s another ‘bad apple’. Just so happens this one is the chief.
And Mayor...
The whole tree is rotten.
Clown world
All this over a golf cart?
If so why oh why is everything, absolutely everything, in your country political rather than being based on experience and competence?
"Eversince I got the badge I just love flashing it to impress people"... is what I heard🤷♂️
She should be stripped of her police pension
Whenever s cop gets pulled over they all look to get some "professional courtesy" by flashing their badge, sometimes that works this time it exploded in her face , I suspect she will be replaced and she will be demoted
Everyone talking bad about her “ it’s cool when they do it but it’s not when she does it “ if this is the case let’s talk about the Clearwater cop who was arrested drunk driving
She wasn’t driving it So what’s the big deal?
This is why humans shouldn’t be in charge of humans!
And they wonder why they get popped, targeted and sniped. 🤦♂
She could have just accepted the small ticket and would still be able to be living her life as a normal crooked LEO. The ego can really do big things 😂

kids and parents driving golf carts all over this state..can we get them arrested please...
The Democrats at WFLA are happy to have got a scalp.
😂😂😂🤡🤡🤡🤡
The stuttering and uncertainty. 💀
Wow, body cam footage was released upon asking. Wonder where Paul Peloi body cam footage?
FBI will try hiding it like hunters laptop.
Her husband looked like he was trying to prevent her from showing her badge. Watch it.
Husband looked to be under the influence of something.

She’s a liar
All cops are
Don’t agree with you. I work with lots of cops. I personally know them. Good cops. She’s a disgrace. I know her personally
@@tyronesandoval2348 you're correct. i'm sure not all cops are bad. i think i watched too many bad cop videos at that time, lol.
Must be a slow news day.
Professional courtesy, don't see an issue..
Seems like reasonable explanations
She’s a player Goodbye 👋

Lol no matter what ,you just can’t control that “racist , sexist bigot” inside of you 😆 I doubt you even try
She got off lite. Send her to prison
Over a golf cart 🤦
She should have bought a FUV if she wanted a golf cart able to cross the street 🤷♂️
Judge Smails would have thrown out the case... "winter rules, you know"
Tampa Police Chief Mary O’Connor resigns after flashing badge and asking to be let go from a traffic stop
Oops. That wasn't smart. But but but I'm important. Sarasota is looking for a meter maid.
"what's your understanding of the law?" - "not much" ...
Are police chiefs here elected?
Yes hi police chief you gave me your business card, can you give me some advice on parking in Tampa
She has the same cadence is Stephanie Lazarus
Piggy, piggy, piggy!!!
Um. Um. Um. Um. Um. Real men know the truth..Jesus is Lord 🙏
who cares yall would do the same thing
She sounds like Kamala the way she keeps digging the hole when she is allowed to speak freely.
What 😲 ? She sounds like typical Tampa trash !
THEY ALL STICK 2 GETHER
Bwaaaaahhaaaa
This requires a ticket, not termination.
Politics.
Now that some of the rot has been clean ed out of TPD, its time for TPD Officer Spencer Adkinson to pay restitution for not working his full shift; my complaint against him for this was SUSTAINED, ALWAYS film the police. They can run, but they can't hide.
Let the story go who the he ll cares it's over and done with. If she was black it would not even be on the news
She had her time in law enforcement. Move on to something else
Live and learn. Move on to something else
Wow, more dirty cops. The cop that pulled her over should be fired also. He fucked up just as much as her.
