In fact, whenever I read about some violent crime being committed (and I'm not saying that Jeanine Pirro is a violent criminal) and they say the person had "never been in trouble", they usually make the exception for a few speeding tickets.

Going almost twice the speed limit is aggressive, reckless, and egotistical, but even worse given Pirro's self-described law enforcement background.

fast..." sorts of posts. It was just really weird for DU. Driving that fast is despicable and should result in some jail time plus a revocation of her license for an appropriate amount of time. Crashing at that speed, which is extremely easy to do, causes a major catastrophe and almost always results in the death of innocents.

And yes given her judge background and her pride about going after criminals this makes her actions even more disgusting.

12. So it's okay that the Judge was driving 120 mph or faster (likely) in a 65 zone in upstate New York?

Driving at that speed is insane. It's even more insane when you are a judge who spends every minute screaming about how anyone who breaks any law (and this would be felony speeding in many states) should go right to jail.
