Thurmond chase ends with immunity from arrest claim
A Washington policeman chased Senator Strom Thurmond for 16 blocks after a red light incident. Thurmond said he did not know he was being chased and denied running a red light. Police said he would have been arrested if a private citizen, but immunity for congressmen traveling to a session prevents booking. Thurmond dismissed the matter as blown out of proportion.
