Tampa Police Chief RESIGNS After Trying to PULL RANK

Tampa Police Chief Mary O’Connor resigned after video was released of her flashing her badge during a golf cart traffic stop. “I’m hoping you’ll let us go,” O’Connor told a Pinellas County sheriff’s deputy who pulled her husband over who was driving her in a golf cart with no tag on November 12. O’Connor asked if the deputy’s camera was on, and then immediately identified herself and asked to be let go. She later handed the deputy her business card, saying: “If you ever need anything, call me. Serious.” O’Connor informed Tampa Mayor Jane Castor of the incident later in the month, and after being put on administrative leave, O’Connor resigned by December 5.
