Nevada Governor Joe Lombardo was pulled over by police near the Mandalay Bay casino in Las Vegas in May for a red light violation, as shown in recently released body camera footage. During the stop, Lombardo identified himself to the officer, who then decided not to issue a ticket. The governor's campaign later stated that he complied with the officer's instructions and did not seek preferential treatment. The campaign described the stop as a routine incident, and a union representative for Las Vegas Metro officers noted that similar stops occur frequently without tickets being issued.
