Princeton professor arrested

She was not arrested because her license was suspended or because she has ONE outstsnding psrking ticket, she was arrested because there was a warrant for her arrest. Why would they cite her and give her a notice to appear when she has already failed to appear for the initial charge (parking ticket) that caused a warrant be issued in the first place. I don’t dispute that racial profiling exists, but I don’t think that’s the case here. They arrested her because of the outstanding warrant for arrest which they HAVE to do. In addition, they cannot let her continue to drive on a suspended license. They told her they would process her and she could pay the parking ticket that she was arrested for, and they would bring her to the university and she can have someone pick up her car. They were super polite and not in any way abusive. I think she has a lot of nerve categorizing herself along with actual victims of abuse by police. As to the police salary comment, I’m not sure where you’re from but in NJ we have a very high cost of living and that salary is quite average. While obviously it’s not an area known for violent crime, several major highways pass through Princeton and there are many traffic incidents, and for anyone to do 64 OR 67 mph on Mercer Street is crazy, it is residential with schools. There are so many pedestrians in the area they need to protect, not to mention the drunken fools stumbling out of the pubs to head back to campus. It’s no NYC, but it’s not Mayberry either.
