Virginia’s Democratic candidate for attorney general had a classic ‘rules for thee, but not for me’ moment in 2022. Jay Jones, a former Virginia state House member, decided he really wanted to let it rip on Interstate 64, being pulled over by state police who clocked him doing 116 mph in a 70 mph zone. How he wasn’t hauled off to jail during this stop is beyond me. Often, in this state, it’s straight to jail. As someone who’s been slapped with reckless driving, because in New Jersey, 65 means 80, I had to go through many a seminar on how weak sauce this state’s traffic laws are. Yet, this doesn’t compare to how he spoke about his Republican colleagues in Richmond, with new text showing the AG candidate wished death upon Republicans.
In Virginia, if you’re caught driving 20 miles over the speed limit or 80 miles per hour, it’s a reckless driving summons, which is a third-degree misdemeanor if convicted. It also carries a potential penalty of up to a year in jail. Jones tried multiple times for a deferred judgment, which was granted on the fourth attempt. He paid a $1,500 fine and completed 1,000 hours of community service, half of which were spent on activities with his own political action committee. It must be nice, since anyone else would be in jail (via Richmond Times-Dispatch):
A state trooper clocked Jay Jones speeding on I-64 at 116 miles per hour — 46 over the speed limit — resulting in a reckless driving conviction in New Kent County. Court docs show he did 500 community service hours for his own PAC. https://t.co/ekO2LZKCeH
