Summary
A New Hampshire state rep hit 107 mph and got pulled over — sparking a fiery debate over body cams, constitutional protections, and who’s really at fault. The sheriff’s office involved has no cameras — not even dash cams — citing budget woes, despite a state fund created in 2021 to help. With no footage to back up either side, the rep’s claim of constitutional immunity for lawmakers on official business stands unchallenged — until the courts decide. She’s even offering to help fund cameras for the department, while admitting she didn’t record the stop herself — and now wants one. Legal experts say the protection isn’t meant to shield lawmakers from traffic violations — just from being delayed. The case is now a legal and political flashpoint, with the trial court’s ruling looming. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
