Chief "Karen" thought that she was gonna get away with anything. I'm glad that it didn't work this time.

Right. She's given out "hundreds of cards in any traffic incidents" she is at, how many other times has she been given a pass? I want to be clear how many other cops let her slide.

How did this woman become Chief of Police for a large city? At the very least her credentials should show experience in the very basics of being a cop and knowing the rules. To not know that you have to register a four-wheeler is knowledgeable to even a middle school child. People are saying but it was a golf cart. Which any recreational vehicle has specific regulations to be able to drive them on the road and anyone that has drove them on the road know whether it was legal or not. Perhaps she was playing dumb but she was being stupid. As Forrest Gump's mother would say stupid is what stupid does.

Tbf these golf carts are mostly driven on private property in gated communities (and they were mere yards away from their community) her husband should have known better and she should have just kept her mouth shut (she wasn't even liable for the ticket as she wasn't driving) but it's something that most normal ppl would just get a warning for as well given the circumstances.

Listening to her interview was like an 8th grader reading their book report ....Castor , you should be removed/voted out of office. This was the person that you thought was the most qualified ? You knew of her past but chose her anyway. Her lack of professionalism and ethics came back to bite you and her. When hiring a person as a Chief of Police there is no second chances Mayor , we the citizens of Tampa deserve better, second chances is something you give to children not to a head Law Enforcement Official. You're a Mayor ,you work for us just Like Bob and Iorio did, ..... Clearly you were playing the "buddy system" in giving her that job. If not then your selection and decisions process is poorly lacking, at best...

100%! Mayor Castor definitely needs to go! Her response was juvenile and full of lies! The fact that she was allowed to continue her career in Tampa after her incident in '95 is a joke! Okay, she gets a second chance. Fine. She should have never been appointed Chief of anything. Mayor Jane Castor proves once again that she is not fit to lead Tampa. Who votes for these people!

"If you ever need anything ...call me ". What exactly does that mean ?!? Also, how does she NOT know any rules/laws/regulations regarding the illegal use of golf carts ?!? Isn't knowing the traffic rules part of her position ? If she did not know, she should have found out prior to going out in public with it. She should have lead by example, and honestly, it agitates me because woman have to work in certain fields 10 times harder to be taken seriously. Many will not admit that there is a gender bias in certain career fields, but there is definitely an unspoken preference. By her behavior, police legitimacy is yet again..questioned.
