Dashcam Video Shows Cawthorn Expressing Surprise When Trooper Says His Car Is Registered To His Father

The Huffington Post reports:

The North Carolina Highway Patrol has released another dashcam video from a traffic stop of Rep. Madison Cawthorn (R-N.C.) when he didn’t have his driver’s license and was speeding, according to the officer on the scene.

During the stop, Cawthorn said the car was his, then appeared surprised when the officer told him the vehicle was registered to his father. “It looks like it’s registered to, I guess, your dad,” the officer said after checking. “Is it really?” Cawthorn can be heard saying.

The unidentified officer in the January video was exceptionally polite, particularly given that Cawthorn was driving a car not registered to him, was driving without a valid license and was speeding. He tells the congressman on the video to be careful when he backs up.
