Today's bodycam footage shows a routine traffic stop that quickly revealed something much more serious. A former mayor and current Township Committee member was pulled over for a registration violation. But when the officer checked her information, he discovered her driver's license had already been suspended following a previous DUI case. Let's see what happened. >> Good morning, ma'am. Officer Palumbo Mount Laurel Township Police Department. May I have your license and registration and proof of insurance, please? Just so you know, my body camera's on, so you'll be audio and video recorded, okay? >> Sure, of course. >> All right. All right, ma'am. Just the reason for stopping is your registration expired. >> It did? Oh my god. Oh my god. I didn't realize that. >> No worries. It just expired. >> Okay. I'll go to >> You you you just weren't aware of it? >> No, I wasn't. >> All right, no worries. Your license is fine and everything? >> Yes. >> All right, as long as that's all good, I'll get you a warning and get you out of here, okay? >> All right, thank you. >> All right, hang out in the car. I'll be right back. >> All right. >> Here on the front lawn. >> 3146. >> Okay. I'll give a message to the Township. >> Received. >> At this point, the officer only knows the registration is invalid. The driver appears genuinely surprised and insists there are no issues with her license, but the officer still has to verify everything through the system. >> All right, ma'am. Were you aware that your license is currently suspended? >> Uh so, it was suspended for 90 days, but I got credit for having a valid license in my car. >> Okay. >> 12. So, I went to the MVC They couldn't tell me if they got the suspension >> Okay. All right. So, under your impression it's supposed to be dropped and everything? >> Yes. Yes, sir. >> Okay. >> Yeah. >> All right. Um >> I would never After everything I've been through, I would never see >> I know. Yeah. Okay. Yeah. Yeah, I wish I said too. All right. Okay. All right. Listen, I'm not going to tow your car or anything like that. All right. As of right now, your license is currently your DMV is currently suspended. All right. So, you you just can't be driving right now. >> This is where the stop changes completely. The officer learns that her driver's license is actually suspended due to a previous DUI related matter. What's interesting is that she seems just as surprised by that information. >> All right. Listen, I I I already got the ticket for the suspended driver's license. Bring that documentation to court with you when you go to court and explain to them that it's if if it is a DMV error, just explain to them it's a DMV error and then we'll drop the ticket. Okay. So, we'll go from there. Like I said, so here's all your documentation back. Um I'm not going to tow your car. You just can't drive yet. Someone can pick you up. All right. And the car has to get registered. All right. So, your court date is on the 26th of this month at 10:00 at the address above the ticket. All right? >> Okay. Yes, sir. >> Do you have any questions for me, ma'am? >> No, I do not. >> Okay. >> Thank you, sir. >> Yeah. Just If you don't mind, just I want you to get here on the side of the shoulder. Just pull into the U-Haul and get a ride. Okay? >> Okay. Yes, sir. >> All right. Thank you. >> Thank you very much. >> I just want to pursue. >> Officer 7. >> If you have any other questions or if you have any other questions, they are open. >> Okay, dispatch for 194. >> Instead of towing the vehicle immediately, the officer chose a less restrictive option and allowed her to arrange transportation. She ultimately received citations for driving with a suspended license and driving with a suspended registration. Cases like this are a reminder that even public officials are expected to follow the same traffic laws as everyone else. And sometimes, what starts as a simple registration stop can uncover much bigger legal issues. When you look at this footage, it's clear. Something doesn't quite add up with his alibi.
