Witness Julio Llerandez, crash victim Sanija Kurtovic, and Officer Shirley Perez-Romero, the cop accused of sideswiping her.
Kurtovic didn't take the plate number because she "automatically assumed she's a cop, she's going to do the right thing." But bystander Julio Llerandez (who, if you watch the video, you'll see is basically THE MAN) saw it all happen, telling Fox, "I got everything. I got the plate number, the precinct, I seen a female driving it." Llerandez even went with Kurtovic to file a police report with the 49th precinct, explaining, "I feel bad for her. She's pregnant. Could have been my mother."
Now Kurtovic's lawyer says she's suing the NYPD and the city. An NYPD spokesman denies the hit-and-run, insisting that a supervisor responded to the scene and immediately conducted an investigation, and Officer Perez-Romero may face disciplinary action. Fox stalked the cop in their exclusive segment, but unlike her Pluto-loving colleague on Long Island, she had the good sense not to comment. Check out the video below, and be sure to stay tuned for the 1:30 mark, when our new personal hero Julio Llerandez makes his cameo.

cops, due rags and ceaser haircuts - dont like'em.
They are the scum of this city.
Her Pregnancy is irrelevant. Preggers or not, this should not happen to anyone. Why does it has to be highlighted?
have*
it's because when a woman is pregnant there are two lives at risk, not one. and as we all know, two is bigger than one.
sympathy boost.
The driver was a cop and a woman? That is a recipe for disaster if I ever saw one.
What did the supervisor say about the incident? Maybe it's time to put the individual out to pasture if he says nothing happened.
once you let'em vote it's all downhill from there.
the 18th century called and they want your backwards-ass thought process back.
Actually it's the nineteenth century, not the 18th that I'm looking forward to repeating.
Plus I didn't mention Jersey at all in my comment.
Cop or not, females are great at hitting stationary objects with their vehicles. Men do more disastrous things though, like drive drunk and kill pedestrians.
Being that she was a cop, obviously she felt above the law and not obliged to do the right thing.
Also, men are more likely to cling to tired stereotypes, but women are just awful.
women do that too. see: west side highway, taconic parkway
UGH!
Suing the NYPD and the city? wow
Of course the cop fled the scene, she was next seen pulling into a body shop, and later emerged with a shiny new bumper and paint job. What accident??
Disgusting, I saw the same thing happen in Sunnyside only the guy was mowed down by an undercover cop at a Queens blvd. and sent 15 feet in the air.

You know, when the first thing on the site is about how the cops shouldn't be lauded for 9/11 because not as many of them died as did firefighters, I tend not to take the rest of it seriously.
ok the cop is at fault for driving so close and hitting her door, but it's ridiculous how she acts like if it had happened 1 second later she would have been out of the car and directly hit by the cop. i guess she doesn't bother to look before she opens her door on a major road? look at the damage on her car; the cop hit her door, she didn't sideswipe the whole car. the cop is a jerk but i'm having a hard time getting worked up for the lawsuit.
It's mostly about leaving the scene of an accident, not about if the accident was caused by one or the other.
I'm sure if it was the other way around the cops would have gotten out with their guns drawn.
lol point taken. i still don't see the need for a lawsuit, but maybe she'll surprise us all and actually just sue for damages or something
Another example of police taking advantage of their civilian given power! Disgusting!! Disciplinary action???? What about criminal charges???? I am sorry but she deserves to be in jail like every other violator that does a hit and run. In fact, I believe she should do MORE time than civilians! I know that there is a need for cops, but I cannot stand them. Do they even bother to write "To serve and protect" on cruisers anymore? Hmmm..
she cant comment because a tampon run was not approved by her supervisor.
NYPD has tons of problems with all the stories on Gothamist. Seems like there is a bad cop story at least once every other day.
I wouldn't trust anyone in this story.
The cop: I doubt a report would've been filled out if she didn't admit hitting the door.
The pregnant woman: What is she suing for? What are her damages? She needs a new door for her car. Is the slip and fall lawyer really needed? Sounds like the accident was her fault.
The witness: He admitted he didn't see the car get hit "It must've hit the door."
Another 20K of taxpayer money out the window.
The punishment for cops that commit crimes and offenses should be worse than for anyone else. A dishonest cop is worse than any criminal out in the street.
Sould pay then be more too? Can't have it both ways.
