TAMPA, Fla. — Tampa police Chief Mary O’Connor identified herself as chief, pulled out her badge and asked a Pinellas sheriff’s deputy to “just let us go” after she and her husband were pulled over in a golf cart last month, a video shared by the Tampa Police Department on Thursday showed.
In the video, which was recorded by the deputy’s body camera during the Nov. 12 traffic stop, the deputy immediately lets them go as they exchange handshakes and pleasantries.
O’Connor’s husband, Keith, was not cited for not having a tag on the golf cart while he was driving on a public road in Oldsmar.
