"I'm running for an office right now," she said. "This will f*ck me up really bad." [View all]

A newly released police video shows Oakland County, Michigan judicial candidate Julie McDonald asking for special treatment from a police officer who had just arrested her for driving while intoxicated.

Video from inside the car then shows McDonald talking to the officer about how she’s running for public office and that being arrested for drunk driving would harm her prospects of being elected.

“I’m running for an office right now,” she said. “This will f*ck me up really bad.”

“There’s not a lot of discretion I have with something like this,” the officer replied.
