A state senator in Tennessee urinated on himself while taking a field sobriety test, according to reports and video from the incident. Sen. Ken Yager, a 77-year-old Republican representing a district in the north of his state, was pulled over by a Georgia State trooper around 5 p.m. on Tuesday on suspicion his vehicle was involved in a hit-and-run the same day.

Why did they pull him over? Didn't they run the tag?

Saw a video of a judge that got pulled over and he really gave the cop a tongue-lashing. After the cop ran the tag and verified he was a judge he apologized profusely. Figured it worked the same for senators.

State senator pulled over in another state. The ID doesn’t say his job, so if they don’t recognize him out of jurisdiction…

Makes sense.
