This guy was a Hero here a few months ago when he was fighting an HOA - But this guy should NEVER be in a position of power - what I saw was a bully trying to scare a female officer off a ticket.

[CarmichaelPatriot]

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.

[Tax-chick]

Hyde asked the officer, “You know who I am, right?”

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??

[ProtectOurFreedom]

LOL...”Do you know who I’m GOING TO BE?” just doesn’t work.

[Bruce Campbells Chin]

That police officer definitely got the last laugh with that body camera, though. He’s toast.

[Leaning Right]

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.

Hmmm…is party affiliation mentioned?

If not, it must be a Democrat.

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.

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

[Joe Brower]

Very disappointing. Yes, Hyde has been local color in Sarasota for years, and looked to be a promising candidate. But he didn't just shoot himself in the foot on this one -- he blew it off.

I'm compiling a list of FReepers interested in Florida-related topics.
If you want to be added, please FReepMail me.

[Gaffer]

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.

[Signalman]

A congressional candidate

He's not even a Congressman, just a candidate? What a putz.

[joma89]

Do not accept the apology and destroy this guy.

[dznutz]

The Republican and Democratic parties are full of Martin Hydes. Let’s fire up those body cameras and cellphones and get to work. The arrogance of this man to say those things, knowing full well he was being recorded.

I saw a video of him on YouTube having a verbal altercation with a teen at a tennis club he was a member of, apparently his membership was rescinded after the situation came to light.

[sauropod]

Agree.

Hyde asked the officer, “You know who I am, right?” and threatened to call the police chief.

The last thing we need is more thugs in office... what's he running for - head of the CIA?

[throwthebumsout]

Every time I hear someone respond with, “Do you know who I am?”, I am reminded that we have two-tiered justice system.

[Lockbox]

Next we will read about a traffic stop where the speeder asks:

“You know who I am, right? I'm a Congressional Voter!"”
