According to police, one woman was illegally seated on the other's lap and neither of them were wearing seat belts.

Instead of issuing Sorrentino a ticket, the video shows the officers getting his autograph before letting him drive off.

Belmar's police chief has launched an internal investigation and the officers could face disciplinary action.

The hit reality TV show is currently in its fourth season which was filmed in Florence, Italy. The cast is back in the surf and sand at Seaside Heights filming the upcoming season.
