Sen. Lundberg says he regrets calling the police chief after Phil Kiersnowski pulled over his daughter last month. The officer ticketed Sam Lundberg for a window tint violation, but during the traffic stop criticized the police department's window tinting enforcement and urged Lundberg to get her father involved.
"I am going to give you a citation, because that's only because the admin's on our a**," Kiersnowski said while trying to mute his microphone during the traffic stop. "One phone call from your dad will probably save us a lot of heartache."
As the stop continued, Kiersnowski briefly continued to try and mute his microphone.
"We all said if we find you driving we're going to write you a ticket," he said. "We all know your window tint is too dark."
"You all targeting me?" Lundberg asked.
"No," the officer responded before one more time urging her to call her father.
"One call from your dad would probably make all of this go away and probably save all of us a lot of heartache," he said.
Sen. Lundberg said the officer didn't realize it at the time, but he was actually listening to the traffic stop on speakerphone. However, he says he could not hear anything Kiersnowski said while he was whispering. Still, he called Chief Blaine Wade.
