Corzine's Cops Corps intimidating radio talk show hosts
2007-05-05
The "Jersey Boys" were reporting on Jersey police message-board discussions of increased ticket writing activities in the wake of the governor's accident...so the police union revealed the radio hosts' home addresses and license plates. Class, pure class.
Thanks to a thuggish intimidation campaign by union officials, two New Jersey talk hosts are at least temporarily off the air. According to several news reports in the Garden State, after New Jersey 101.5 FM talkers Craig Carton and Ray Rossi exposed a potential "ticket blitz" scheme, police union officials went nuts, making threats and revealing Carton's home address and license plate number on television news programs.

In response, Carton and Rossi cut short their radio show and went straight home, saying they needed to protect their families from harm. The blitz was apparently to be launched by police as a protest against official scrutiny of the officer involved in Governor Corzine's recent crash, which left him badly injured.

#1  Carton and Rossi cut short their radio show and went straight home, saying they needed to protect their families from harm.

yeah right. Sure. Good publicity though.

On an interesting note, my local radio talk show hosts, far, far from NJ were also on the "over-jealous cops" meme this week. It was somewhat similar where they found a local event in which a ticket writing cop acted somewhat over-jealously. The talk show pumped it up and made a huge ordeal over it.
