The only time you see law enforcement identify themselves willingly...

Everyone is equal before the law. Shame on her.

[ewest]

After confirming his camera is on, she still proceeds to do the wrong thing. She was either tipsy or stupid. Maybe both

[bellamerced]

That is how you spot a corrupt officer! Whoever promoted her to become chief is bad in judgment 😔

[NativeAmericanSwag]

She wasn't even driving, girl just take the ticket!🤦‍♀️🤣🤣🤣🤣

[barb]

Correction....she's no longer the police chief of Tampa

[amberdavis]

I liked how her husband closed up that badge real quick

[watch]

Looking for favoritism? Disgusting! She got something alright, a lifetime of public shaming

[Chief_]

It’s a good thing that cops are starting to be held accountable. It’s a start in the right direction.

[tonyhector]

So ridiculous and I’m embarrassed for her. Abuse of power.

[gbabiesbuck]

She's no better than anybody else they need to take their ticket and move on

[Mvoigt]

Hubby closed that wallet up quick like😂😂 he’s like girl you read the room all wrong!

[rexross]

Who cares who you are just because you're the police chief Does not mean that you can do whatever you want

[steeroth]

That Grinch-like smile and intonation tells the entire story here.

[drakea.]

Hubby actually motioned with one finger for her to put it down but she decided to go for it anyway. He'll probably never let her forget it...

[kevinworley]

Who cares, she’s bribing a cop. She’s FIRED

[cabingirl]

Abuse of power. Shame on her. Others follow her lead and it’s unacceptable.

[christopherkerns]

The fastest way to see the public scream the word defund!!! Glad she resigned!

[stormysmith]

"I'm a cop so I can't get in trouble " 💀

[debdebcastillo]

Shouldn’t be treated any different.. if so this is corruption.
