Charges Filed Today Against New Jersey Troopers Who Led Luxury Car 'Death Race'


Ever been pissed off to be stuck in traffic? Ever need to travel one hundred mph on a road like Route eighty or the the New Jersey Turnpike or Garden State Parkway? in any case, if you have got an excellent automotive sort of aLamborghini or Ferrari that may simply go one hundred forty mph, you would like to air the automotive out one in a verywhereas while not worry over rushing tickets.

Occasionally, you can, with no concern from the police, as long as you have got the assistance of the proper cops.

Two New Jersey State cops who escorted a caravan of luxury cars, in some cases super luxury cars, at high speeds last March to Atlantic town, N.J. were criminally charged Friday and face disciplinary act for his or her involvement.

"We won't tolerate officers who endanger the general public," said state attorney general Jeffrey Chiesa, whereasasserting the fees at a press conference. "What they did was completely wrong."

The caravan was moving through traffic occasionally in far more than one hundred miles an hour with a police escort. Some within the cluster of drivers, including former the big apple Giants running back Brandon Jacobs, consistent withpress reports, had conjointly taped over their license plates.

The caravan, dubbed "Death Race 2012" by some drivers who captured the rushing cars on their phone camerasbecause they were stuck in traffic as the cars whizzed by, was traced by The Star-Ledger to The Driving Force Cub, an elite the big apple City-based cluster that advertises itself as being "for all automotive fanatics with a spice of racing and adrenaline rush to their hearts."

One of the State Troopers expected to be charged criminally, Sgt. first category Nadir Nassry, has said through his attorney that he failed to personally like the incident, and equipped a polygraph take a look at to that result together with his plea. He resigned Thursday.

State investigators are continuing the probe since it's hardly imaginable that police providing an unauthorized and improper escort for a gaggle of made luxury automotive house owners to hurry from Northern New Jersey to Atlantictown, a journey of a hundred twenty five miles, while not being compensated in a way below the table.

The Star-Ledger printed an editorial regarding the incident in April, and shortly afterward Nassry and a second, junior, state trooper who acted below orders from Nassry, were suspended while not pay. that very same day, the State Police and state Attorney General's workplace said they were launching a second investigation into an identical incident in 2010 that was captured on an amateur video and posted on nj.com, the net home of The Star-Ledger.
