TRENTON, N.J. — A lawyer arrested for not answering questions during a traffic stop in New Jersey will get $30,000 under a settlement with the state, court records show. NJ Advance Media reported the settlement, with Rebecca Musarra, was reached in July.

Video of the 2015 arrest shows state troopers telling the Philadelphia lawyer she has the right to remain silent after they arrested her for not answering their questions.

‘‘I thought it was quite ironic that they had just arrested me and told me I had the right to do the same thing they just arrested me for,’’ she said.

The video shows troopers repeatedly asking Musarra if she knows why she is being stopped. She doesn’t respond. A trooper says, ‘‘OK, you’re going to be placed under arrest if you don’t answer.’’

When she told them she didn’t have to answer, they told her to get out of the car and handcuffed her.

Musarra said she was detained at a police station, where a trooper told her she was obstructing justice by not responding to the officers. When she said it was not illegal to stay silent, he apologized for the arrest and called the arresting officer a ‘‘rookie,’’ according to the lawsuit.

She was released the same night after a trooper said he’d do her a ‘‘favor’’ and get her car released from an impound lot without her having to pay any fees.

The lawsuit also stated that a trooper chipped her driver’s-side window when he tapped his flashlight against it during the traffic stop.

The department has not officially admitted wrongdoing, though officials sent Musarra a letter in March 2017 saying that an internal investigation found sufficient evidence to substantiate the allegations of false arrest and illegal search.

A spokesman said troopers were given additional training after the arrest.
