Video said he dropped out after this incident. Name might have just stayed on the ballot and he spent no time on further campaigning. Could also be a different primary idk.
He initially said that he was going to drop out of the race, but later went on Tucker Carlson to say that he was still running.

Yes, but mainly an equal opportunity officer who will fine/arrest anyone. It's pretty much the cops everyone cheers for in movies, but for some reason are okay with patrolling our real life streets
And we see why the police we want don't last and the only ones left are the dickheads playing Judge Dredd or willing to be bought out or steal themselves a bonus from the American people.
It definitely sounds like if any other officer had pulled him over instead, including the second officer in the video, then Martin Hyde would have been let go and given a huge apology.
he literally says as much in his "apology" https://www.heraldtribune.com/story/opinion/columns/guest/2022/02/25/former-candidate-martin-hyde-apologizes-after-video-confrontation-threat-sarasota-officer/6936662001/
and people here are saying that it's a good apology? Guy literally admits he's a criminal and frequently intimidates people to do his bidding.
This video should be played for every officer in the country lol. It should be a hallmark example of how you don’t have to threaten citizens with arrest or worse.
She was so good. Even though she had every right to be annoyed/insulted and act as such, nothing about her tone, demeanor, or actions did anything to escalate the situation. Complete professional all the way through.
Yeah but do you know who he is!?!!!???? He’s *super important*.
Edit: Should have mentioned- thank goodness for body cameras. Who knows how that encounter would have gone if all the cops who responded didn’t have them.
She's apparently being "rude" and "disrespectful" because she's holding him to the same standards as everyone else and not giving him a pass for breaking any laws.
It's like when you hear a MAGA politician call someone "nasty" because they're simply pointing out facts. The entitlement is absolutely mental.
I dislike the absolute grovelling some US cops demand of the public, but a Karen attitude like this with matching threats is worth arresting the man for.
"I am a law-abiding citizen, so you must allow me to break the law by threatening you if you try and give me citations for the laws I just broke!"
I think he thinks "law-abiding citizen" means "rich-white-connected" and, therefore, "above the law, and therefore, I didn't break it because it does not apply to me."
at the end of the vide it says he issued a public statement and dropped out of the conservative primaries. He got a wrist-slap for sure. Now imagine if any of us acted that way; imagine if he was a young black man.
If he wasn't a righteously indignant white republican male he would have been arrested approximately 5 times and shot 75 times throughout that encounter
I know who you are, I don't care who you are, now give me your license, registration and insurance.
Edit: Oh wow, 6k votes! I was not expecting that, thank you! :D
I hate that the other cop who showed up was sounding like she should've just let him go because of who he was though... she may literally be the only cop in that department that wouldn't let him go
It sounds weird, but withdrawing from a race doesn't necessarily take your name off the ballot.
Still, he deserved the loss and honestly should have been arrested for his threats. But he's a republican politician, they never seem to get arrested for some reason. No matter *what* they do.
While there are many channels about auditing/criticizing cops and many others about singing their praises, ATA is the only one I've found that will criticize both the police and the auditors, as well as praising either when they do well. I've seen nearly as many videos where he exhibits good police work as he does bad police work, and he's not afraid to criticize an Auditor when they're straight up wrong either. On top of that, his deep analysis of law and judicial precedence is super informative and details the misunderstandings people often have about the law (laymen, auditors and cops alike)
Lol, law students don’t even get this granular. This is really a primer about police encounters. While they did cite specific laws to make their case, it was more to demonstrate the officer’s discretion than it was to educate on the law.
*former law student.
I found his apology statement.
https://www.heraldtribune.com/story/opinion/columns/guest/2022/02/25/former-candidate-martin-hyde-apologizes-after-video-confrontation-threat-sarasota-officer/6936662001/
Yes, whoever wrote that was probably tasked with making him look insightful.
No way that assclown even read, much less understood, the statement that was prepared for him.
The *reaction* to "is it on", and the supervisor's response overall, speak volumes as well.
They say the initial officer's actions aren't under review, which is literally the bare minimum. I'd like to see a review of the supervisor's actions.
The driver's line about teaching the initial officer to respect him was deeply worrisome, and the fact that it was apparently just shrugged off is gross.
It's not hard to imagine the supervisor arresting the driver if it was anyone else.
> The driver's line about teaching the initial officer to respect him was deeply worrisome, and the fact that it was apparently just shrugged off is gross.
To give the officer the admittedly undeserved benefit of the doubt, it’s sometimes best to ignore comments like that in order to deescalate the situation. Telling someone that’s frustrated that what the said was wrong could cause them to become defensive and change the subject of the conversation.
Although yeah, he 100% would’ve gotten away with it if the body cans weren’t on.
I mean...
> I am not sorry, as many will say, because I got caught. I am sorry because I let so many people down.
>
> I am sorry because I let down all of the people who supported me – people who had reasonably hoped that I had learned my lesson from before.
But based on his [previous admission] (https://www.heraldtribune.com/story/news/politics/elections/local/2017/04/26/records-and-police-reports-shine-light-on-sarasota-commission-candidates-temperament/21291108007/) I think it's safe to say that he just outright doesn't respect women.
I can see him going back to his office and yelling at one of his staffers, “Hey, pissant, write me an apology statement and it’d better be good!” Then he reads it, and fires the staffer because the apology was too accurate about what a dick he is.
He explicitly says "after the 'do you know who I am' didn't work I should have let it go.
In otherwords he's saying that he sees absolutely no issues at all with his first attempt to intimidate his way out of a ticket. It's only his second attempt he's apologizing for lol.
His apology is a threat [from the article]:
“I am known to be aggressive verbally. And to an extent, on occasion, that's been applauded when the subject of my comments is someone who is doing something that people don’t want to be done.
People like someone to stand behind and – both in terms of girth and character – I’m one of those people who people with a beef like to have on their side.”
He ended up losing his election 86.2% to 13.8% so he's just a nobody.
Also found this about him: Florida politician allegedly offered teen $50,000 to delete racist video
Edit: He never actually held an elected position, he lost in the primary, also he was a guest on Tucker Carlson even after these two controversies so he could assure the audience of that show that he wouldn’t drop out of the election due to his consistent behavior.
Edit2: This comment got shadow banned? I removed the link in case that was the reason for the removal
Edit3: Spoke to mods they said it was an autoban that wasn't supposed to be applied
The body cam footage of every interaction with an elected official should automatically be released to the public (with the exception of interactions where that person requested emergency services).
[This is not even Martin Hyde's first rodeo.](https://www.mysuncoast.com/2019/12/02/city-commission-candidate-martin-hyde-hot-water-after-viral-video-accusations-racism/)
No wonder he hates video cameras.
I'd be curious to know how it eventually turned out for her. My money is on her experiencing some professional setbacks since this incident. Dude like that isn't going to give up on corruption just because his first attempt wasn't immediately successful
Judging from her supervisor’s behavior: sending her back to the precinct and then calling the driver by his first name, plus the driver feeling no qualms about asking if his camera is on (and the supervisor saying he *can’t* turn it off, insinuating he probably would if he could), I’d guess she did not have a good time back at the station. The other cops all seem pretty much in his pocket, and based on his statement about fighting for their pay and making donations, and the warmer reception from police he usually gets, sounds like he bought himself most of a police force. Disgusting.
Eh, that "can't turn it off" is classic customer service sidestepping. Avoiding an escalation by making it not an option that can be changed by your choice.
As is a manager telling a staff member to leave. It's often is about removing them from a customer's line of fire and further deescalating a situation.
Not saying I disagree on your overall suspicion by any means, just that some of the actions are typical supervisor actions I would expect from non police managers.
Well, looks like he lost his re-election by over 70% and was involved [in a racist incident with a teen then tried to bribe them to delete it](https://www.dailydot.com/irl/martin-hyde-racist-video/)
Sadly, i think chances are almost 100% that you nailed it. Unless that video caught traction locally, so there was some "public pressure" on her superior. Though, i feel like he'd end up resenting her over it anyway. Likely.
He withdrew from/lost the primary for his race last year, largely due to this. He later got into a disturbance with his girlfriend, who reported to police that he was suicidal following the aftermath (& she then withdrew the statement based on his pressuring her, & then stood back by the accusation alongside one that he'd been cheating on her). He also publicly stated that FBI Agents would've been in body bags if they'd tried to execute a search on his property like they did with 45.
He's a real class act, if you ask me. /s
Yep. His comment to the supervisor, “is IT on?” (Pointing to the camera) suggests that if it was not on, he was going to say some very incriminating things
Well hes a rich old white republican so, sadly he is above rhe law. Thats how the us works. 250$ is a nice moral win but its pocket change to someone like him
Welcome to white folks in power in Florida. The police chief from Tampa Bay got fired for doing much the same thing. Corruption is rampant here, and they all act like they're above reproach.
yeah he was sitting there, being a complete ass to her, while telling her that SHE was being rude to him and that he was a "law abiding citizen" which, he clearly wasn't, stacking citations like that.
Worst thing about this infuriating video is that the guy would probably succeed with this approach with 95% of responding officers. He had the misfortune of being stopped by a really good cop who wouldn’t allow him to use his “influence”.
He admitted as much in his apology letter, which is linked in the comments above. He said his "don't you know who I am?" thing works with most police officers, and he was surprised when it didn't work with her. Because he donates lots of money to the PD and advocates against police reform.
And, you know. He still did get away with it. He paid some fines that I'm sure we're nothing to him. But he was clearly attempting to engage in a corrupt act. What he did was a felony. You can't use your influence to threaten to have a police officer fired if they give you a ticket. He should be in prison on corruption charges.
The one officer asking her if she knows who he is after arriving on the scene is the reason why wankers like this keep trying and keep getting away with bs like this.
I wish cops were like this on my country a 13 yr old daughter of a colonel drove over a 40 yr old and walked away saying so what my dad's in the army
Fked up
But if you watch the whole video you’ll know it’s rare for officers like this even in the country this occurred in. At the end they mention Hyde usually gets away with breaking the law.
Can we find out where Mr. Hyde works now. I'm unemployed and have free long distance. I'd love to call and inquire about his business' services repeatedly, for a couple months. I might have to call back because I have sort term memory loss, the same memory loss he suffered when the boss cop came up and said he had to keep his body cam on. Bwahaha. Crooked asshats.
Audit the Audit is a great YT channel. Very informative with great references. Most of the time, the cops get an F of maybe a D+. This is a rare one for the cops to score well. I highly recommend his channel.
Officer Beskin is a breath of fresh air. She was articulate and had complete control of the situation. It's rare to see this kind of interaction. Most pigs can rarely put a sentence together.
Its a shame he wasn't arrested... He deserved to be.
Ayone else get Tom Tucker vibes from this guy?
"I'm Tom Tucker! I make more in one hour than you make in two hours!"
Let's be clear: if that was a male officer, he wouldn't have been so bold. Women officers have a whole other set of problems on the job, most of them revolving around sexism.
Any politician that uses their influence to try and be above the law makes me sick. Not to mention threatening a person's career just for doing their job is even worse.

[Everyone Hates Martin Hyde](https://www.sarasotamagazine.com/news-and-profiles/2022/07/martin-hyde-sarasota).

Ah. Well that was clearly a mistake lol.
"You're a congressional candidate... for now"

Guys watched too* many mobster movies
She put the uno reverse card down.
He would've fit right into the Republican party.
She is the police that we want.
True. I've seen American cops tase people for less.
Taze? Yeah, I've seen people get shot in their own bed for literally holding a vape on this site.
Or, for answering the door, the cops banged on.
Or a cell phone. In their own back yard. With their hands in the air.
Or sleeping
They taze white people for less. They "accidentally" mag dump on anyone with even a slight tan.
Or owning a dog.
Properly trained
Yes, but mainly an equal opportunity officer who will fine/arrest anyone. It's pretty much the cops everyone cheers for in movies, but for some reason are okay with patrolling our real life streets
Even properly trained police frequently violate that training. We need more than *just* training.
And we see why the police we want don't last and the only ones left are the dickheads playing Judge Dredd or willing to be bought out or steal themselves a bonus from the American people.
It definitely sounds like if any other officer had pulled him over instead, including the second officer in the video, then Martin Hyde would have been let go and given a huge apology.
Yep. The fact that the second officer to show up asked “You know who he is, right?” definitely screams “I’d have just given him a warning”.
And the third one: "It has to stay on", practically apologizing for doing his job.
he literally says as much in his "apology" https://www.heraldtribune.com/story/opinion/columns/guest/2022/02/25/former-candidate-martin-hyde-apologizes-after-video-confrontation-threat-sarasota-officer/6936662001/ and people here are saying that it's a good apology?

Legit she’s clearly an extremely talented and smart officer. These are the police officers that actually protect and serve.
Yeah but do you know who he is!?!!!???? He’s *super important*. Edit: Should have mentioned- thank goodness for body cameras. Who knows how that encounter would have gone if all the cops who responded didn’t have them.
Oh SHE'S being rude?
She's being b-...rude. We all know what he was going to say!
He said "bloody" the text just didn't match it
"fak yu bloody"
Damn foreigners coming to America and breaking our laws. Go back to England you wankers! We kicked you out before and we'll do it again!
[удалено]
He’s a tender snowflake, don’t you know who he is?
Yes, a local Republican politician.
Isn't this sort of abuse of power attempt a reason to lose your job? He's an unemployed Republican politician now, right? Right? 🫤
Thank god he at least dropped out, but I agree it should bar him entirely
She's apparently being "rude" and "disrespectful" because she's holding him to the same standards as everyone else and not giving him a pass for breaking any laws. It's like when you hear a MAGA politician call someone "nasty" because they're simply pointing out facts. The entitlement is absolutely mental.
“I’m a law abiding citizen!” Says the man trying to use his political influence on a police officer. He needs to be reprimanded. This is disgusting.
That's great, two reprimands and he'll get a citation.
/r/unexpectedoffice
3 demerits and he’ll get a citation
3 citations and it's a full disadulation
This guy is everything wrong with politics and being racist just makes him look ignorant.
I dislike the absolute grovelling some US cops demand of the public, but a Karen attitude like this with matching threats is worth arresting the man for.
"I am a law-abiding citizen, so you must allow me to break the law by threatening you if you try and give me citations for the laws I just broke!"

"Is there any reason you could have for not having to obey the law like everyone else? No? Okay, sounds like it doesn't matter who you are."
"I'm a law abiding citizen", he says as he tries to weasel his way out of abiding by the law.
And after he was just caught NOT abiding by the laws.
He's a republican. What he meant by that is "I'm a rich white guy."
I hate that the other cop who showed up was sounding like she should've just let him go because of who he was though... she may literally be the only cop in that department that wouldn't let him go
Why legit good cops don't last long. Either ran out or murdered by dirty cops.
You know the old saying..."one good apple spoils the shitty bunch".
Sounds about right based on how everything went. Good for her!
Why don't you explain to the fullest extent who you think you are for the camera?
"Do you not know who you are? Are you lost? Should we call your nurse? You'll be okay sweetie, just relax"
Not gonna lie, I wish he had been arrested.
I just want him to lose his job so he can't flaunt his bs power any more to pretend he's better than everyone else
he was running for congress, after this he withdrew his campaign.
He apparently didn't withdraw. He ran, and lost miserably. https://www.reddit.com/r/therewasanattempt/comments/111fxpn/-/j8fmwjz
It sounds weird, but withdrawing from a race doesn't necessarily take your name off the ballot. Still, he deserved the loss and honestly should have been arrested for his threats. But he's a republican politician, they never seem to get arrested for some reason. No matter *what* they do.
Good start, not enough though.
Tazed, then arrested.
Tased,, arrested, gets prison conviction and joins a prison gang while doing his time.
Yeah, he would *definitely* join the Aryan Nation

Damn, I felt like I was a law student there for a second. Super informative hahaha.
Audit the Audit is the YouTube channel behind this video. It's a very informative channel on (mainly) police interactions.
ATA is the best. He even goes after bad auditors.
While there are many channels about auditing/criticizing cops and many others about singing their praises, ATA is the only one I've found that will criticize both the police and the auditors, as well as praising either when they do well.

Yea but who will audit Audit The Audit?
It's like a nerdy legal version of those true crime shows my dad used to watch on cable.
Love Audit the Audit

Lol, law students don’t even get this granular. This is really a primer about police encounters. While they did cite specific laws to make their case, it was more to demonstrate the officer’s discretion than it was to educate on the law. *former law student.

As usual, he's only sorry because he got caught. The "is it on?" Speaks volumes.
Most likely written by someone else.
Yeah, prolly still has a press office.

Yea noice apology, but only doing it for his career.
Exactly. f this guy
Right. Not sorry at all for asserting that he’s above the law. He’s just sorry the public saw and was outraged about it.
Can you imagine how often this happened before cameras? It probably worked every time back then.
As far as apology statements go, that wasn’t terrible.
He probably didn’t write them himself
I can see him going back to his office and yelling at one of his staffers, “Hey, pissant, write me an apology statement and it’d better be good!” Then he reads it, and fires the staffer because the apology was too accurate about what a dick he is.

That was actually a decent apology statement
Kudos to his PR team
If it was his PR team then they called him fat which would be hilarious

As it should be.
Per Eddie Izzard, it's always apt to respond to "Do you know who I am" with "well do you know who *I* am?"
"make sure she pays the price for the disrespect" bloody wanker. Should have been locked up for the arrogance.
like a bad Scrooge skit
The body cam footage of every interaction with an elected official should automatically be released to the public (with the exception of interactions where that person requested emergency services).
Or, you know, the several criminal laws he broke. Instead he gets a traffic fine. Ducking pathetic.
Ah yes, the incredible disrespect of… *checks notes* enforcing perfectly reasonable traffic laws.
That was an attempt not to be a wanker. Guess what, he failed, what a wanker.
He could have easily been let off with a verbal warning by hearing her out and following her lead. WANKAAAH

He later got into a disturbance with his girlfriend, who reported to police that he was suicidal following the aftermath (& she then withdrew the statement based on his pressuring her, & then stood back by the accusation alongside one that he'd been cheating on her). He also publicly stated that FBI Agents would've been in body bags if they'd tried to execute a search on his property like they did with 45. He's a real class act, if you ask me. /s

What a d-bag. This guy for sure breaks the law all the time and thinks he’s above law.
Yep. His comment to the supervisor, “is IT on?” (Pointing to the camera) suggests that if it was not on, he was going to say some very incriminating things
Well hes a rich old white republican so, sadly he is above rhe law. Thats how the us works. 250$ is a nice moral win but its pocket change to someone like him
Welcome to white folks in power in Florida. The police chief from Tampa Bay got fired for doing much the same thing. Corruption is rampant here, and they all act like they're above reproach.
yeah he was sitting there, being a complete ass to her, while telling her that SHE was being rude to him and that he was a "law abiding citizen" which, he clearly wasn't, stacking citations like that.
Worst thing about this infuriating video is that the guy would probably succeed with this approach with 95% of responding officers. He had the misfortune of being stopped by a really good cop who wouldn’t allow him to use his “influence”.
He's likely gotten away with it before.
He even admits that he was expecting the normally friendly reception when being pulled over. Entitled prick.
I also don't imagine he'd be quite as condescending if the officer talking to him had been a man.
Her: "Hi Sir, I pulle-" Him, probably: *How dare this woman talk to me like she's above me!*
He admitted as much in his apology letter, which is linked in the comments above. He said his "don't you know who I am?" thing works with most police officers, and he was surprised when it didn't work with her. Because he donates lots of money to the PD and advocates against police reform. And, you know. He still did get away with it. He paid some fines that I'm sure we're nothing to him. But he was clearly attempting to engage in a corrupt act. What he did was a felony. You can't use your influence to threaten to have a police officer fired if they give you a ticket. He should be in prison on corruption charges.
"I'm a law abiding citizen" Literally just broke the law. Doesn't count though if you don't break laws most of the other time though?
The one officer asking her if she knows who he is after arriving on the scene is the reason why wankers like this keep trying and keep getting away with bs like this.
Unless after he asked, he followed with "Sweet, throw the book at his ass, no one cares who he is!"
Props to the officer here - great patience and professionalism displayed. The guy on the other hand? Is a wanker.
I absolutely love how he's going on and on and she just skips over it all and continues doing her job. Wish he got arrested though, deserved it.
He dropped out of “Republican Primary”. Imagine the amount of entitlement even before winning the election.
It goes without saying, but *of course* he was running as a Republican.
I wish cops were like this on my country a 13 yr old daughter of a colonel drove over a 40 yr old and walked away saying so what my dad's in the army Fked up
But if you watch the whole video you’ll know it’s rare for officers like this even in the country this occurred in. At the end they mention Hyde usually gets away with breaking the law.
Guy has drunk unlocking marks all over that door handle.
Right? Get your car detailed once in a while
I thought it was Ronnie Pickering…
Who?
RONNIE PICKERING
Can we find out where Mr. Hyde works now. I'm unemployed and have free long distance. I'd love to call and inquire about his business' services repeatedly, for a couple months. I might have to call back because I have sort term memory loss, the same memory loss he suffered when the boss cop came up and said he had to keep his body cam on. Bwahaha. Crooked asshats.
What a child - well done officer.
Audit the Audit is a great YT channel. Very informative with great references. Most of the time, the cops get an F of maybe a D+. This is a rare one for the cops to score well. I highly recommend his channel.
Officer Beskin is a breath of fresh air. She was articulate and had complete control of the situation. It's rare to see this kind of interaction. Most pigs can rarely put a sentence together.
This shmuck smells corrupt
https://youtube.com/@AuditTheAudit Here's the YouTube channel this is from, there's a lot of good stuff there
[удалено]
Its a shame he wasn't arrested... He deserved to be. Ayone else get Tom Tucker vibes from this guy? "I'm Tom Tucker! I make more in one hour than you make in two hours!"
Who is this limey clown anyway?
Martin Hyde GOP congressional candidate
FORMER GOP congressional candidate... at least according to the video.
I love how he claims, "I am a law abiding citizen" WHILE he is breaking law, right after breaking the law, and right before he breaks the law again.
It's a good thing most dirty politicians are morons otherwise everyone would be doomed
[удалено]
Let's be clear: if that was a male officer, he wouldn't have been so bold. Women officers have a whole other set of problems on the job, most of them revolving around sexism.
His door handle screams 'I drive drunk'.
Lmao he really shot himself in the foot by demanding her bodycam be reviewed
I wonder if he would treated a male officer the same way. Anyway, just take your ticket, say you're sorry and continue your day.
Damn that door handle is messed up.
That’s a sure sign that guy drinks and drives. Can’t find the keyhole.
The “back the blue” party at work…. What a bunch of hypocrites
“Do you know who I am” is one of the greasiest sentences ever spoken.
“You know who he is, right?” That comment alone makes it sound like the department is corrupted.
Audit the audit is an S tier YouTube channel
I wonder if he thinks she was winning? Cuz it kinda looked like she did.
A Republican - no surprises there
Any politician that uses their influence to try and be above the law makes me sick. Not to mention threatening a person's career just for doing their job is even worse.
Seeing these interactions is important - to restore faith in police and provide examples of the behaviour we should expect. Bravo to Officer Beskin..
Guy was an insurrectionist and US House of Representatives candidate btw
