Speeding driver to officer: ‘No wonder you people get shot’
- Share via
BOYNTON BEACH, Fla. — Police say a woman who was driving more than 30 mph over the speed limit pleaded with an officer to let her off with a warning.
When she was handed the ticket, she said: “No wonder you people get shot.”
Police say 62-year-old Joy Feinberg, of Boynton Beach, was cited for speeding in a school zone Sept. 1. The Palm Beach Sheriff’s Office released video of the traffic stop.
The $606 traffic citation says Feinberg was driving 51 mph in a 20 mph zone. She repeatedly asked for leniency, but the officer said he couldn’t overlook speeding near a school.
A message left at a phone listing for Feinberg was not immediately returned.
