A government official in New Jersey was caught on bodycam chewing out a cop for pulling him over after he allegedly ran a stop sign. This is just the latest example of an elected official trying to use their position of power to escape the consequences normal people they’re supposedly serving have to face.
Watch a sheriff get arrested for allegedly driving drunk.
The official in question, Paulsboro Councilman Theodore Holloway, was pulled over on the morning of January 4 while driving his Nissan Quest minivan. Once the officer approaches the driver’s window, Holloway lays into him, arguing that he shouldn’t have been pulled over and that especially once the cop recognized him he should be let go.
“You actually pulling over an elected official,” he rants at one point in the footage. “Bro, you’re not pulling, you’re not pulling over a random. You’re not pulling – you’re pulling over your boss.”
Later in the footage , which is circulating online like wildfire, Holloway argues that since he’s a public official, he should be pulled over if he’s smoking marijuana “out the car” or is holding his phone while driving. Apparently in his mind those offenses are worse than running a stop sign.

Even though Holloway suggested he was going to speak with Paulsboro Police Department Chief Gary Kille about being pulled over by the officer, he was ultimately given a citation for an expired registration from July 2024 on the Nissan Quest instead of the running the stop sign. It’s an interesting move that might have to do with the officer knowing his dashcam didn’t record the running of the stop sign. Of course, that’ pure speculation.
What’s even more interesting about this story is it’s yet another example of someone who has a little government power believing they’re exempt from the rules of the road. A lot of people have a problem with that attitude.
