AZ GOP Rep Gets “Immunity” From Speeding Ticket

Phoenix’s ABC affiliate reports:

The Arizona Department of Public Safety confirmed State Senator Jake Hoffman was pulled over for going 89 MPH in a posted speed limit zone of 65 MPH on January 22, but he was not cited due to what is called “legislative immunity.” “The Trooper recognized and verified that Mr. Hoffman is an Arizona State Senator, and currently in legislative session,” a spokesperson for DPS said.

The Arizona State Constitution states that “members of the legislature shall be privileged from arrest in all cases except treason, felony, and breach of the peace” and says legislators “shall not be subject to any civil process during the session of the legislature.” Lawmakers even get a sticker they can put on their license which they can show to police officers in case they get pulled over on the road.

Hoffman was indicted last year as one of Arizona’s fake electors. The state GOP then made him a member of the Republican National Committee.

Hoffman appeared here in 2022 for his “No Promo Homo” bill that would have banned discussions on homosexuality during public school sexual health classes.

In 2021, Hoffman was banned by Twitter for running a pro-Trump paid troll farm with Charlie Kirk.

In January 2023, Hoffman’s Arizona Freedom Caucus sued Gov. Katie Hobbs for signing an executive order expanding LGBTQ protections.

In January 2024, Hoffman appeared here for his bill that would ban “Satanic displays” from state government property.
