The scary part about this isn't the fact that he's still mayor. The scary part is that New Yorkers may well not have learned a thing from this. And with Cuomo (another crook) running as an independent, they could wind up with him or even a Republican.

That's why trump got his charges dropped and also why he wants him in charge of NYC. It's also why Cuomo is running independent after a nice ass kicking in the primary. It all leads back to Trump wanting control and his racketeering enterprise.

Adrienne Pass @h3xadecimal.theoverpowered.com

Not an expert, but aren't relatives of cops often given a get-out-of-jail-free card? Like a literal card sometimes. So if his wife would normally be privileged enough to avoid arrest for traffic accidents, then they arrest her anyway, would feel targeted.

This is less successful these days because of cop cams that they turn on before they know who they've pulled over. Chicago's previous Chief of Police got caught driving drunk and falling asleep (among other issues with the evening). Probably could have gotten away with it if not for being recorded.
