A woman who pulled over a police officer for speeding and posted the video online is new being subjected to cyber bullying from police for her actions.
Sgt. Javier Ortiz of the Fraternal Order of Police took to Facebook and Twitter to call out the woman, Claudia Castillo, after the video went viral.
Ortiz posted Castillo’s business card and phone number online and told people to call her, writing, “Feel free to call Claudia Castillo at her cell and let her know drinking and driving on a boat isn’t safe. #shesNOTaboveTheLaw #wesupportmdpd It’s important that law enforcement is aware of this woman,” although the post was taken down from Facebook. It was not clear whether it was Facebook or Ortiz himself that took the post down.
Ortiz also posted an image of Castillo holding a beer while on a boat, captioning the image: “Nobody is above the law except me when I’m drinking.”
Reports also surfaced concerning Castillo’s own past encounters with traffic issues, including the fact that she was being investigated for possibly having caused an accident two weeks ago and that she had been pulled over 14 times since 1998.
Castillo pushed back against the cyber bullying, saying she was “not the jerk they’re painting me to be” and that Ortiz and others were simply trying to distract people from the fact that some officers are not following the law.
