Ocean County Prosecutor Joseph Coronato today released the latest Right Turns Series Educational Film –“Pulled Over”.  

This is the 8th film in the series and its target audience is High School Juniors and Seniors who are just beginning to drive.  

The film highlights how to act when you get pulled over by a police officer.  

Due to the recent rise in these types of Police Stops ending badly, the Prosecutor believes that it is crucially important to educate young drivers on some very simple behaviors to employ when pulled over by a Police Officer.  

The film highlights motor vehicle stops by some of our own municipal police officers.  It walks the viewer through each stop with the goal of demonstrating how a person should properly interact with law enforcement during the encounter.  

By interacting appropriately with law enforcement, the ultimate outcome for each of these encounters is for a safe and peaceful conclusion for both the Officer and the person who was stopped.  Sometimes new drivers do things unintentionally that may heighten law enforcement’s concern for their safety. The Prosecutor hopes that this Educational Film will serve to educate and protect law enforcement and drivers when somebody finds themselves – “Pulled Over”.

A special thanks to the New Jersey State Police and Donna Setaro for their contributions to this project as they highlighted the New Jersey “Move Over Law”. Donna’s son, Mark Castellano was a New Jersey State Trooper who tragically lost his life in the line of duty when he was struck by a vehicle that failed to move over to give him and his fellow Officers room to work while they were investigating an incident on one of our State Highways.  Since her son’s tragic death, Donna has traveled all over our state and our nation to educate drivers about the “Move Over Law”.
