Another Politician Who Believes Laws Are For Anyone Else But Him

Governor Jon S. Corzine, New Jersey was recently seriously injured in an automobile accident in New Jersey.

It would seem that his vehicle, driven by a New Jersey State Trooper, was proceeding along at about 91 miles per hour in a 65 miles per hour zone. According to news reports the governor's vehicle did have the emergency lights activated.

When a citizen tried to get out of the way, the citizen lost control of their vehicle which struck another vehicle with the ultimate result that one of the vehicles involved was Governor Corzine's vehicle.

Unbelievably, the head law enforcement officer of New Jersey was not wearing his seat belt. The Governor suffered some very serious injuries, injuries I suspect that would have been much reduced if he had his seat belt fastened in accordance with state law.

Recently, the Superintendent of the New Jersey State Police unbelievably stated that if the trooper driving the vehicle was found to have contributed to the accident, he would receive some type of punishment.

As a start, doing 91 mph in a 65 mph zone must have contributed somewhat. The troopers failure to ensure (as required by law) that his passenger was buckled certainly contributed to the magnitude of injury.

On the other hand, is the trooper at fault when his passenger is his bosses' boss. The Governor of any State is the senior law enforcement officer of that state, sworn to uphold all laws.

This will be interesting to follow in the news. Perhaps the original citizen who was startled by the Governor will sue the Governor for damages caused by the Governor's misuse of his authority.

Since this can be seen as the result of misused authority the question is:
Who is paying the Governors medical bills and for vehicle repair or replacement.
