The Law Is For Little People

Sanford:

COLUMBIA, S.C. – When a Highway Patrol trooper told a driver Tuesday that there was no good reason for him to blaze down a busy stretch of South Carolina interstate at 85 mph, he got a surprising reply: "Tell him that."

Video from the trooper's dashboard camera recorded the incredulous trooper as he strides to the side of the governor's unmarked sedan, a window rolls down and then, a handshake. "Mark Sanford," the governor introduces himself.

Lance Cpl. R.S. Salter returned to his patrol car and its camera captures the sedan pulling away. The governor's driver did not get a ticket.
