This situation
has “sticky” written all over it, so we’re going to hold off on any
commentary. Right now it’s better that we circle the wagons around
our brother officers in Fairview and watch what transpires.
According to
numerous published reports, a gentleman named Hamlet E. Goore was
stopped by Fairview police back on May 26, 2006 at approximately ten o’clock in the
morning during the “Click it or Ticket” enforcement program.
Further inquiry revealed that the vehicle was unregistered and Mr. Goore’s license was
reportedly suspended.
At some point
during the stop, the New Jersey Attorney General, Zulima Farber,
arrived at the scene. Mr. Goore is apparently Ms. Farber’s
boyfriend.
The car was
not towed (as had been planned,) and the summonses were later
withdrawn or dismissed.
The
controversy surrounding the encounter lies in what degree, if any, did Ms.
Farber’s presence influence the outcome.
Cries
for Ms. Farber’s resignation were being heard within hours of this
incident coming to light, and the encounter is now ground zero in
the continuing battle between New Jersey democrats and republicans.
Unfortunately,
our guys are also in the middle of this unprecedented situation.
Stay tuned.
