The Upstate New York District Attorney, Sandra Dorly, is facing scrutiny after allegedly ignoring a traffic stop, an incident captured on police body camera video. In the footage, Dorly is seen engaging in an intense exchange with a police officer.

Growing Calls for Investigation

Local leaders are demanding an investigation into the conduct of DA Sandra Dorly following the incident. The encounter has sparked controversy and raised questions about abuse of power.

Details of the Encounter

The police body camera footage, obtained by a local affiliate, shows Monroe County DA Sandra Dorly moments after allegedly refusing to pull over for a traffic stop. Instead, she proceeded to drive home, with the officer following her to her garage less than a mile away.

Exchange with Law Enforcement

During the encounter, Dorly is heard claiming she was unaware of the sirens and cites other cars as the reason for not stopping. She asserts her position as the district attorney and appears to attempt to intimidate the responding officer.

Apology and Response

Dorly eventually apologizes for the incident, citing a stressful day dealing with multiple murders in the city. She admits guilt and states she had no intention of using her position to receive special treatment.

Calls for Investigation

County officials have requested an investigation into Dorly’s conduct, questioning her fitness to serve. The New York State Attorney General, Leticia James, has been urged to look into the matter.
