RHONJ's Teresa Giudice Offered Cop Family Business Card During Stop

RIVERDALE, NJ — "Real Housewives of New Jersey" cast member Teresa Giudice offered a police officer a "family business card" during a traffic stop on Interstate 287 in Morris County, according to the officer's body camera footage.

According to the video posted on the YouTube page Drive Thru Tours, the traffic stop happened in April when a police officer pulled over Giudice in her white Maserati because she was drifting between lanes.

Guidice and the officer shared a cordial exchange during which he informed the reality television star why he pulled her over. According to the video, she apologized and told the officer she was using her navigation system.

In the video, Giudice said she had a temporary tag on her car because she recently bought the vehicle after her car was stolen.

Guidice then handed the officer her driver's license and offered him a family business card, which he declined.

"Oh, no, don't worry about it, you're all good," the officer replied.

After three minutes in his patrol car, the officer returned to Giudice and issued her warning. Giudice apologized and then mentioned her father's death.

In a statement provided to TMZ, Giudice's attorney said the "family business cards" mentioned by his client was a state PBA card, which some drivers carry and show to police officers during traffic stops.

"There is no family business card," attorney James Leonard Jr. told TMZ.com. "That is ridiculous. No such card exists or has ever existed. She was referring to a New Jersey State PBA (Policemen's Benevolent Association) card that was given to her by an acquaintance who is a law enforcement officer and issued her the card."
