Arrogant DA is set to be probed by NY AG Letitia James for failing to stop ... trends now
A New York district attorney who was caught on bodycam calling a police officer an 'a**hole' over a speeding ticket now faces a state inquiry into her behavior.
The Rochester City Council sent a letter to Attorney General Letitia James on Saturday, beseeching her to investigate Monroe County District Attorney Sandra Doorley's conduct.
'Recent body camera footage, shared by the Webster Police Department, has raised significant concerns regarding Ms. Doorley's behavior during a traffic stop in Webster, New York,' the letter read.
'This incident has led us to question her fitness to serve as District Attorney, and we believe an investigation by your office is warranted.'
The document was signed by all nine city council members, who believe Doorely violated the standards of 'ethics, accountability and respect for the law' that her title necessitates. Locals have said Doorley's behavior makes a mockery of the law and could lead to criminals saying they'd ignored laws because they felt like it - the same excuse used by the woman paid to prosecute them.

The heated altercation stemmed from an incident on April 22, when an officer followed Doorley to her home after she was flagged for driving 20 miles over the speed limit in her hulking GMC Yukon SUV.
Doorley only admitted that she was driving 55 mph in a 35 mph zone after the humiliating bodycam video surfaced.
The footage opens with Doorley telling an officer, 'I'm sorry. I'm the D.A. I was going 55 coming from work.'
