A new report from New Jersey's Comptroller finds state troopers are letting dangerous drivers keep on driving, as long as they know someone in law enforcement.

The report says in a quarter of traffic stops reviewed, motorists were allowed to leave without a penalty after they presented so-called "courtesy cards," which indicates a driver has some personal connection to law enforcement, or they told the officer about a personal connection.

The news comes just a week after New Jersey’s attorney general appointed former Manhattan federal prosecutor Preet Bharara to investigate an alleged sharp decrease in traffic enforcement by State Police.

Tracey Tully reports on New Jersey for The New York Times. She joined WNYC's David Furst.
