It was 5:30 p.m. last Monday in Webster, N.Y., a Rochester suburb, when Police Officer Cameron Crisafulli noticed an S.U.V. being driven 20 miles per hour over the speed limit on Phillips Road.

Officer Crisafulli put on his lights and sirens, signaling to the driver to pull over. But the driver didn’t stop, steering the car into a residential neighborhood about a half mile up the road before pulling into the garage of a two-story white-clapboard house.

It was the home of Sandra Doorley, the Monroe County district attorney.

“Sorry, I’m the D.A. I was going 55 coming home from work,” Ms. Doorley said angrily, getting out of the car as Officer Crisafulli approached her garage. He reminded her that the speed limit on Phillips Road was 35 m.p.h. “I don’t really care,” she replied.
