Here is the condensed version:
SC Governor Sanford was being driven by a SLED (South Carolina Law Enforcement Division) agent to a meeting when they were pulled over by a highway trooper for doing 85.
When the trooper approached the driver, the dialogue went like this:
"Not a really good reason to be speeding," the trooper said to the driver.
"Tell him that," the agent says, walking back to his car.
As the trooper strides to the side of the governor's unmarked sedan, a window rolls down and then, a handshake. "Mark Sanford," the governor introduces himself.
After the trooper returns to his vehicle and begins writing a ticket for the State Law Enforcement Division agent driving Sanford, his patrol car and its camera captures the sedan pulling away with its own blue emergency lights flashing in the rear of the vehicle. The governor's driver did not get a ticket.
What would you have done, and does make a difference that the governor is riding in the vehicle or the fact that the driver is a SLED agent?
