New York legislator claims to have PTSD during traffic stop meltdown -

A dashcam recording shows Jennifer Schwartz Berky arguing with an officer and repeatedly pointing out that she was a county legislator.

The Democrat representing the city of Kingston tells Officer Gary Short of the Ulster County Police Department that she was suffering from a panic attack, after being pulled over for driving at 69 km/h in 50 km/h zone.

Throughout the 25-minute interaction, Berky is seen getting angry, upset, crying and hyperventilating.

The officer attempts to calm her down and when he asks if she needs medical attention, Berky refuses, explaining that she has PTSD and begins accusing the officer of singling her out.
