NJ Attorney General to step down

It has been quite a news for a while. Her boyfriend was pulled over by a cop for a moving violation, and then she showed up at the scene with her State assigned SUV, and said nothing, asked for no favor (according to herself), then her boyfriend was allowed to drive the vehicle (with no proper registration and plate) and leave. Now she's leaving the job for that appearance.

Zulima Farber, who will step down at the end of the month, said she was leaving office "out of respect for the governor" and not because she was asked to do so.

"I admit to being human and making that error. I am truly sorry and apologize to all New Jerseyans for that mistake," said Farber, who appeared at a Statehouse news conference alongside Gov. Jon S. Corzine.

According to this standard probably all ranked executive officials in Taiwan should step down, so should lots of people in the White House. I'm not that sure about this. What else should she have done? Does that mean as an AG, she cannot go to the scene to see her boyfriend? Or she should have gone with her own car? Maybe the latter case was suggested, but, to be honest, if you've been having a ride day in and day out for months, don't you think it straight forward to just take the same ride?
