There is something very basic that is being ignored here.

The Attorney General knows the law, her State trooper driver knows the law, and the two local policemen at the scene knew the law.

In fact, all of us in the State of New Jersey, including Hamlet Goore, know the basic motor vehicles laws.

The law says that you may not drive without a currently valid license, and he had none. You cannot drive a car without a currently valid registration, and that car had none. And you may not drive a motor vehicle that does not have currently valid insurance. And that car had none.

And Farber knew, because she told that to the New York Times!

As was stated in the NY Times article the other day:

"Ms. Farber said that the police stopped Mr. Goore about four or five blocks from their house and found that he was not wearing a seat belt and had a suspended license, and that the car was uninsured."

So, he initially got two tickets for the license and registration. Why did he not get any ticket for the insurance violation, one wonders? It is a very serious violation in New Jersey. Had he been convicted of an insurance violation before? If he had, this violation might have meant jail time.

But most importantly, why, after voiding his tickets, was he then permitted to commit a new series of violations of the law again, by being allowed to drive home, in the presence of, and with the tacit approval of the Attorney General of the State of New Jersey, and at least three police officers?

The answer is because it was her boyfriend, and because she obviously has little or no respect for the law and thought they would get away with this.

She was the senior law enforcement official at the scene. And she allowed that second series of violations to take place, knowing that they were violations!

For that reason alone her resignation should be demanded immediately.

The investigation by the Judge should be about whether her actions, or the actions of others taken with her knowledge or at her direction, may have amounted to an unlawful and corrupt interference with law enforcement, especially as related to the "voiding" of the tickets.

But she simply cannot get out of the fact that she was present at, and countenanced a second series of violations of the motor vehicle laws, violations that none of the rest of us would ever have be permitted to do.

She has to go.
