00:00:00
entitled and corrupt politicians are everywhere but what happens when these same politicians actually get arrested
00:00:09
I'm not talking to you here are three examples of politicians who got handed a piece of Justice pie starting with
00:00:15
Martin Hyde an election candidate Whose actions were so shocking it caused him his career
00:00:21
I hate it how you doing sir I'm Sebastian Sarasota Police Department you're on audio and video recording the
00:00:25
reason for the staff you were observed going 57 and a 40 and you were on your phone texting while you were doing that
00:00:32
that was at Euclid and Fruitville would be awesome I'm not pointing at you I'm pointing the direction where it was
00:00:40
good go right ahead sir yes sir I do in case you don't know who this is meet Martin Hyde when this
00:00:47
traffic stop occurred he was a candidate in the congressional election for Florida's 16th District he was trying to
00:00:53
become the head politician for his area however it seems like this has made him feel as though he's above the law but
00:00:59
this cop is about to show him just how wrong he is when I see your license registration Insurance please you can do
00:01:05
this yes sir is going to be on the citation Seven Years sir can I see your registration please
00:01:23
Martin's demeanor already feels threatening he looks almost as though he's suppressing his anger and like he
00:01:29
thinks this is an unfair situation but being a politician makes you no more clear of the law than a regular citizen
00:01:35
in fact it should be the exact opposite but instead of realizing that he decides
00:01:40
to start threatening the officer even more you're not gonna give me a registration sir interest me I'm asking
00:01:46
you if you're going to produce me with your registration you don't have it on you
00:01:50
yeah [Music] okay sir would you want to produce your registration I'm asking you if you have your
00:02:07
registration you're making career decisions sorry because you were speeding and you
00:02:12
were texting [Music] hang tight thank you call the supervisor people like this reporting dispatch can you have my
00:02:34
supervisors yeah yeah and then we'll see who goes first off Martin tries to force the
00:02:41
officer to comply with his demands threatening her by saying not following his orders is a career decision this
00:02:47
implies that should she not release him he'll use his connections to get her fired secondly it seems that while she
00:02:53
was running his paperwork Martin has done some of his own research on the officer insulting her for being a
00:02:58
Russian immigrant this statement is of course offensive but you have to wonder what his motive for making it was did he
00:03:06
want to seems xenophobic on camera or was he trying to threaten her by claiming he knows everything about her
00:03:11
either way he certainly doesn't feel like stopping yet anything you have to say you can wait for the supervisor but I'm
00:03:25
gonna go through what I need to go through registration of a citation registration
00:03:36
okay Andy's gonna have you again and that's fine it's not funny what keep saying it's fine sir I'm a law-abaying
00:03:55
citizen you being good if you decide to go ahead and do the course just make sure you do a prior to submission of
00:04:00
payment as they do you think you'll require a certificate if you sign up for it you must complete it otherwise they
00:04:07
will go ahead and suspend your license the officer is handling this perfectly and it's clearly making Martin angry
00:04:13
he's trying to scare her off by repeating all the things her supervisor said being extremely rude to her by
00:04:19
telling her to shut up and making amusing statements such as I'm a law-abiding citizen in his world it
00:04:26
feels as though he isn't a citizen at all because the laws seem to be completely different for him
00:04:32
are you still waiting waiting for a supervisor or are you leaving okay after a few more minutes of this a
00:04:44
second unit arrives on the scene to witness Martin's entitled Behavior continue so that's why another significant ticket
00:04:51
or no registration when they've got the registration she's trying to make her Spurs but it's
00:04:57
a big mistake we're going to make sure that she pays the price for being disrespectful
00:05:03
someone needed a witness it know that yeah the registration was right there and she deliberately chose to write the
00:05:09
ticket she came up she said the first look there's a video of it so be quiet there's a video of what you said
00:05:15
and I've got a video I've lived here for 25 years I've represented your unit I've got no
00:05:22
interest in listening to you young lady this is the first time anybody has been disrespectful to me it's the manner and
00:05:30
the nature of it outrageous yeah yeah why would you do that why eventually the officer supervisor
00:05:38
turns up to have a conversation with Martin pretty much nothing new is said but Martin was told that the body cam
00:05:43
footage will be reviewed and if there's anything wrong with it he'll be the first to know it's also important to
00:05:48
mention that even though Martin's shameful Behavior was evident throughout the entire event and that the female
00:05:53
officer was in the right the entire time none of her colleagues stuck up for her
00:05:57
with her supervisor even seeming angry at her stay in your car you can go to the state yep go to the
00:06:06
station in the end the footage was reviewed and it was concluded that the female officer
00:06:11
did nothing wrong the footage was also made public quickly after the event forcing a public apology for Martin and
00:06:18
resulting in his devastating loss in the election he was also issued citations for failure to produce registration
00:06:24
texting while driving and speeding but councilman Matthew Rileys took this to another level when he was caught with a
00:06:31
quick pipe in his hands completely passed out no not at all successful oh no way dude really yes yes I was just
00:06:43
taking I was on my way back from Court bro well Russell's gonna come check you out man I can't let you go you were
00:06:50
literally choking in your sleep the officer was shocked because Matthew's ID told him he was actually a chairman of
00:06:57
the city's Republican party and therefore a pretty influential person right sorry but listen I I have a body
00:07:03
camera obviously yeah I think I have is recorded you know that and what I've observed is on camera so I can't pretend
00:07:11
I didn't you know so a rush is going to come here and if they're going to check you out you know as far as I know
00:07:17
there's no anywhere so I can't you know so there's not a criminal investigation there's more health or well-being check
00:07:23
thank you the conversation is pretty calm on both ends but Matthew is clearly worried about what effects this could
00:07:30
have on his life and career they then start to discuss the specifics of the situation and the officer learns exactly
00:07:36
how he got into this position how long have you had this problem man it was a it was a relapse I
00:07:42
I think 13 years [Music] I just went through a really really bad divorce recently okay do you know if any
00:07:51
of that was released or anything because you were out out and like looked like you were choking really yeah that's why
00:07:59
somebody literally sprinted and flagged me down because they thought you were having a heart attack or choking
00:08:04
no not that I know despite everything the officer still has to treat this seriously and therefore calls another
00:08:11
unit over to search the vehicle inside they find a suspicious substance and decide to test it
00:08:19
be careful because he was on the nod or like it seems like anyways it's mixed with something else but
00:08:28
do you need this knife yeah be careful with that stuff is I don't know if that's fentanyl waste or not
00:08:38
there's white all over there he doesn't know yeah I was just telling him the same thing because I mean you don't fall
00:08:43
asleep easily from [Music] right away um [Music] the powder was tested again later and
00:08:59
came back positive as final too as implied by Matthew himself most people who consume fentanyl this way have no
00:09:06
idea they're doing it as Distributors often dangerously lace the original drug with it to make it seem better or
00:09:13
stronger obviously this isn't a great look for Matthew and he was promptly placed under arrest after a medical
00:09:19
check yeah I know [Applause] this is terrible situation we're all in a tough spot but we gotta do what we got
00:09:35
to do right by the Numbers it'll help you in the end believe me when I tell you and you'll
00:09:40
say to us a month from now a good best thing ever happened yesterday a nice sentiment from the cop but that's not
00:09:47
exactly the way it went Matthew was rightly only hit with a single charge of drug possession but he was pressured
00:09:53
into giving up his position as chairman most shockingly of all though just a month later Matthew was arrested again
00:10:00
this time for an array of allegations with a 12 year old but at least Matthew remained calm and polite with officers
00:10:06
in his stop a complete contrast to how police chief Jonathan Hemphill behaved when he was pulled over for having too
00:10:12
dark of a tint on his windows hello was that illegal no yeah no sir uh the resourceful because the win intent
00:10:20
violation I blink my blue lights at you and let you know who I was yes sir well we didn't know with it you know that's
00:10:26
not a government tag that is a unofficial tag that Tag's not even on file I said yes well we have to catch up
00:10:32
the bill until running everything like that sir so so next time speaking I'm the police chief example
00:10:40
nice to meet you sir Matt Pope worked for me your Chief worked for me yes sir there's no need to get upset I'm upset
00:10:46
because I spoke to you when I come by and now you're pulling me sure I've never met you damn I understand that
00:10:52
easy I don't I don't have to talk to you okay okay I'm not talking to you the officers are immediately met with
00:11:00
aggression despite this being a pretty minor stop after they realized it was a fellow officer the chief would likely
00:11:06
have been able to explain away the window tint and let them know that it was an official police vehicle with
00:11:11
clearance but Jonathan's aggression throws all of that out the window while making the officers believe that
00:11:16
something maybe isn't right here yeah what she's about bringing your driver's license
00:11:22
yeah uh first we ran the tag and came back to like a Dodge Ram so we're just confirming right now yes sir yes sir
00:11:31
yes sir yeah we're just you must have run it wrong like you must have run it wrong because you didn't want to come
00:11:36
back so so it's still coming back to a Dodge Ram now sir can I ask for yourself is it
00:11:44
still coming back to a Dodge Ram no we got it fixed why are you so upset no you didn't fix it dude is it still come back
00:11:49
to a Dodge Ram right now no it came back nine on five that's right because you run it wrong sir I'm trying to be
00:11:54
respectful I understand that I understand I'm not raising my voice right I understand all right
00:12:00
the only thing I've done wrong was supposed y'all never would have pulled me over if I had to flick my blue
00:12:05
license no sir no we were gonna pull you up but like I said you know there's people
00:12:13
out here in person police officer with blue lights she throwing my license if she is getting them for me she'll bring
00:12:18
it to you okay well that's fine I'm just trying to I'm trying to talk with you I
00:12:21
don't want to talk anymore about it all righty again this stop was incredibly minor and
00:12:32
all the officers really wanted to do was check that this was in fact a police officer and not just an impersonator but
00:12:38
unfortunately for Jonathan he escalated this to a completely unnecessary and unprofessional level and received heavy
00:12:44
criticism for it after a short investigation it was decided that Jonathan would receive an oral reprimand
00:12:50
and he would be required to attend at least six months of anger management and de-escalation classes
