TENAFLY, New Jersey – Tenafly Police stopped a vehicle that contained a then Port Authority of New York and New Jersey commissioner Caren Z. Turner's adult daughter, who had been traveling with friends. After police discovered the vehicle had not been registered for two years and the driver could not provide proof of valid insurance, they moved to impound it. Turner arrived soon after to pick up her daughter and the other occupants of the impounded car and repeatedly demanded to know the reason for the traffic stop, telling the officers that she was a "friend of the mayor", that they could "not put a sentence together", demanding they address her by the title "commissioner", and stating that they had ruined the holiday of "Ph.D. students from MIT and Yale." She said she would be "talking to ... the mayor", and then launched into a tirade which climaxed in Turner ordering one of the police officers to "shut the fuck up.”
When the traffic incident went public, an investigation was opened into what agency officials described as "profoundly disturbing conduct." After Commissioner Turner became aware of the investigation, she resigned. Even before the announcement, Turner's name and photo had already been removed from the Port Authority website.
