Former Tampa Police Chief Mary O’Connor got a pass when a Pinellas County Sheriff deputy let her out of a traffic stop last month, but the professional courtesies didn’t end there. Text messages show that Pinellas County Sheriff Bob Gualtieri leaked body camera video of the traffic stop to O’Connor while Creative Loafing Tampa Bay waited for the clip as part of a public records request from PCSO. The video shows O’Connor and her husband Keith pulled over for not having a license plate on their golf cart and O'Connor using her badge to get out of the traffic stop.
