A Florida congressional candidate apologized to an officer after threatening to ruin their career during a traffic stop.
A congressional candidate from the Sarasota area, Martin Hyde issued the apology Wednesday, WFLA reported.
The officer’s body camera captured the incident of pulling Hyde over on Valentine’s Day.
The video shows the female officer explaining to Hyde that she pulled him over for speeding and texting while driving, WFLA reported.
Hyde asked the officer, “You know who I am, right?” and threatened to call the police chief.

He needs to drop out of the race.
I hope his opponents use the body cam video in their commercials against him.
We don’t need arrogant British transplants as our representatives.
The real divide in America is between regular people and Special People, who think you should know who they are and that it should matter.
“You know who I am, right?”
arnold schwarzenegger??
“You know who I am, right?”
arnold schwarzenegger??
LOL...”Do you know who I’m GOING TO BE?” just doesn’t work.
That police officer definitely got the last laugh with that body camera, though. He’s toast.
Do you know who I am, I’m Barbra Steisand!
So? Like do you know John Elway?
John Elway? No.
Oh, so you’re so important but you don’t know who John Elway is.
He’s gone. Dropped out.
I saw this video a couple of days ago. It’s one thing to get angry about getting a ticket. But Hyde went way over the top, asserting that he was somebody special and implying the he’d get the cop fired.
Self-entitled bullies like him should be nowhere near a position of power. I sure hope he loses the election bigly. Oh, and I do feel sorry for his wife, his neighbors, and any pets he might have.
If not, it must be a Democrat.
NOPE - Republican
The all time hall of fame video is Rosemary Lemberg Austin Texas DA arrested on a DUI 8 or ten years ago. Get ready for a fun filled ten minutes.
I saw that one! - I don’t care what party you are-—these types of videos make my blood pressure spike! These people work for us....or are supposed to anyway!
Surprisingly, it took several paragraphs before his Republican status was mentioned. Accidental journalism? Almost made me choke on my chewing gum.
Hyde asked the officer, “You know who I am, right?”, this is when you call an Ambulance letting them know there is a Dementia and take him into custody for his own protection
I find it ironic that this Brit POS was castigating the officer’s “Russian immigrant” status.
Here’s a hint, fella. You can only pull the “do you know who I am?” crap AFTER you’ve actually won the election and actually become a Congressman.... FAIL - EPIC FAIL.
