Lying Lawyer Suspended For Lying That NJ State Trooper Used Anti-Semitic Slurs

A Queens lawyer has been suspended for six months for falsely accusing a New Jersey state trooper of using anti-Semitic slurs against him, according to a ruling released yesterday.

Attorney Elliott Dear said he made up the outrageous allegations in hopes of getting out of a speeding ticket.

Court papers say the unidentified trooper pulled over Dear, an orthodox Jew, for going 84 in a 55-mph zone while driving with his wife in 2007.

Six days after getting the ticket, Dear sent a letter to the traffic court saying, �This ticket shall be dismissed immediately� since he wasn�t speeding and �the officer called me a �Jew kike� � and this prejudice obviously was the cause for the ticket,� the papers say.

The letter was forwarded to Internal Affairs, which contacted Dear, who repeated that he had been the victim of an ethnic slur.

Unfortunately for Dear � and luckily for the trooper � the traffic stop had been videotaped on the officer�s car camera, and the trooper was wearing a recording device.

Police reported Dear�s actions to the New York state lawyers� disciplinary committee.

In a ruling made public yesterday, a panel of state Appellate Division judges denied Dear�s request for only a private rebuke, and suspended him for six months.
