you could just put your hands in small your back for me okay Not only was he in clear error because he was driving Under the Influence but he went on to lie about his single margarita drink when in fact he had a double shot to top it all off Ian was utterly rude to the officers as if the officers were pestering him for no reason when he had been irresponsible and was the root of the problem here just another test station is this another is it just what's that why why are you why are you taking in for driving D based off his observations and test all right so basically what happens from here

intoxicated tonight okay intoxicated drive drive that's why we take you back we read this thing to you we'll explain it to you when we get back to the station just because you're we're out here like you said you you have your arguments you know that's what Courts for we're not this is it's an accusation it doesn't mean that you're found guilty here and everything I'm in handcuff because of op of accusation correct yes do you anything on Ian Smith's car was noticed to have been swerving out of its Lane several times in the police dash cam video and even nearly veering into another car endangering the life of an innocent civilian this was of course highly irresponsible and undependable behavior for a man running for Congress made this up I'm not I'm not trying to be difficult with

and and you're telling me that that I'm under arrest and that you essentially put me in hand will at the end of the police cam video Ian Smith spoke violently telling the officer about him being a Congressional candidate he even dared to threaten the officers as he was being arrested for his clearly illegal actions he was charged with reckless driving careless driving and refusing to consent to a breathalyzer test later on he plead guilty to refusing breathalyzer test and the DUI charges were dismissed the breath detector device was ordered to remain in place inside Ian Smith's vehicle for 9 months but if you think that the rudess and Corruption of politicians stop here you're mistaken let's jump into the next case Cas about a certain Dean Davis hey TJ they said that they can detain me right now you're not being detained you're being arrested oh I'm being arrested TJ for what Republican intoxication This Is 50 years old Oklahoma lawmaker Dean Davis who's about to get famous for all the wrong reasons on March 23rd 2023 only 20 days after his probation expired for a DUI arrest representative Davis was caught by police on allegation of public drunkenness during his dispute with the

with the officer and allegedly told him that he doesn't possess the power to arrest him however Sergeant Timothy Brewer made it clear that he can and went on to rightfully arrest him for public drunkenness later that afternoon David insisted that he didn't do anything wrong but nevertheless apologized for creating unnecessary distraction from the important work of the house but if you think that oppression and intimidation by politicians end here then wait till you find out about the case of Martin Hyde sir can I have a seven years sir a 53-year-old Sarasota Congressional candidate Martin Hyde on February 14th 2022 got pulled over for going 57 in a 40 mph Zone when a Sarasota police officer Julia beskin saw him texting and looking at his phone while overs speeding although

attitude toward the lady officer which in any case goes against ethics and morality being in a position of power doesn't mean that one owns the law or government workers the responsibility of

phone while driving he threatened to end the officer's career when she was only doing her job politicians like Martin Hyde are the epitome of corruption s frion is on his way okay speeding 57 the 40 uh texting while driving failure to produce his registration when I asked he told me I could look it up okay you know who he is yeah you got identified him yes okay so you're just going to stay by to site him or is that he already got cited oh he has already citation so he just from the moment I woke up so he's just waiting for he's waiting for supervisor and I guess he spoke to fron so friend B is on his way okay Bobby just pulled up okay hello Mr Hyde I guess FR you s you talked to Sergeant frion by the phone I did yeah okay he's on his way she just she requested another unit so that's why another someone a certificate ticket for no registration when they've got the registration she's trying to make her Spurs but it's a big mistake well this one is expired one but well that's make it take two seconds yeah we're going to make sure that she pays the price for being disrespectful I just wanteded a witness know that yeah the registration was right there and she deliberately chose to write the 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 there is and I've got a video of what you said right what she said was I I don't have it she immediately said I write your citation she went right back she never said anything she went straight back she I denied the S she straight back right the I've lived here for 25 years I've represented your un I've got no interested in listening to you young lady to my you don't mind if we St over thead yeah Mr hi like I said you know I've represented you guys in Union discussions my son is a C I'm friends with everybody in the police department this is the first time anybody has been disrespectful to me and for what reason I could care less if they were give write me a ticket I could care less I just pay the bloody thing you don't think I got the money mhm it's the manner and the nature of it okay and like I said sergeant and will be over here to talk to you about her her uh interaction outrageous yeah why would you do that why I mean of all the people to do it to yeah I understand sir and you know I I say you uh you know I I've been with the the uh negotiations with you and I understand where you're you're coming from I don't ask for special treatment but I don't expect to get treated like a punk MH let me go talk to her and see well it's a waste of time she's got it in her head I know exactly who she is BR only told me exactly who she is that's fine seven years might not turn into eight St far I just to go back to the station you can go to the St yep go to the station hey Martin on yeah I have to leave it on all right so here's the thing she lied about the cell phone thing she lied about the I don't have to speed I can care less you can give me the ticket all day long care less that and then I gave her the registration and she before she who registration it's in the car there somewhere she goes off she writes me ticket she brings me back a citation I said there it is okay she still gives me okay all right she's being fun and the thing is I appreciate that I back you guys left right seter I understand that I do I do I trust me I do know that we don't expect better treatment but I don't expect worse treatment if that's how you treat people that's unacceptable okay I understand I understand your frustration and I can get the video and I can play it to I I understand it but you know the thing is I don't take kindly she knew exact cuz I said to her I said you right away I said she like yeah straight away right in the tickets why well she's a traffic officer that's what we do but I understand I understand that's what she do it's not what you do and you know it listen she has a job to do I'm not listen I I'm going to look at I'm going to look at the video I I understand your concerns I'm going to look at the video I notified everybody in the chain of command right now that's what I was doing that's why I was not coming here I thought you were going to meet me at the station but it's not a big deal I'll I'm going to she's going right now to dock her video right now she's going to Dr video and if there's problems you will be the first to know I know there problem the difference is I'll do something about okay I understand yeah I'm going to take your complaint is what I'm doing that's the first step how can you write a ticket for no registration when you've got a registration I mean as if I get a $150,000 car I've lived here for 25 years and I hav registered a car why do that I understand well you tell me what the point is it it's just a state statute that's she enforces she's not the only traffical off you give a ticket for that I really don't leave the office I understand what you're saying I understand you video on there but the fact is nobody in their right mind would give a ticket for that to me nobody I I I understand what you're saying and you producing it she probably should have taken that ticket away but I'm going to find out what exactly occurred because she had a beer in a bonnet cuz she thought she was on a big Power Trip guess what she's been there seven years she ain't going to make eight I'll make sure well I'll I'll uh I'll get going on all listen that's your prerogative I want to get I want to get start okay I understand right you don't treat people that have treated and supported your like that I I I understand where you're bare minimum of respect is yes sir no sir not a word of it straight up talking to me like I'm a piece of get bre in your car which is she stand she got a car door open and I'm leaning against here talking to someone okay in case you get hit by traffic just being difficult okay just being cocky I understand I do understand where you're coming from but it isn't it's a bad interaction yeah it definitely definitely it definitely seemed like it was how difficult is it to come to me and say you're doing 57 give us your license and your registration why get into immediately like that when she knew exactly who she was talking to if that's how wonder do you got people shooting people in New Town if that's how you talk all right Martin I'll talk to you later and R tickets when someone's actually got the physical stuff tell me that's I understand I do all right I'll talk to you later when the video was released mark Hyde finally apologized to officer beskin giving the statement the result was a video that showed me at my rather pathetic worst and for which no apology or explanation is likely to be accepted nor should it be however I will say this one more time for posterity I am sorry officer Julia beskin the overall dispute ended How It Should Have by Martin's apology politicians must know that they aren't an exception of Law and they have no legal grounds to threaten any officer doing his or her Duty even when it's not in their favor but if you think that the rudess and Corruption of politicians stops here it's because you are not familiar with the case of Charlotte mayor Patrick Cannon there 12 5 under the radar you just keep a St this is 57-year-old Patrick Cannon who was elected as the Charlotte mayor in November 2013 and took charge of the office in December however since August 2010 the FBI had been investigating Patrick Cannon for suspicions of bribery later on Patrick Canon was charged with theft and bribery concerning programs receiving federal funds honest Services wire fraud and extortion under the color of official right later on the FBI released this video of Canon accepting bribery and everything has the package fee which gets us on up to that number so okay well tell me what I need to do just move forward [Music] oh we done yeah I mean you need 125 basically um that's it cuz the only thing I'll be going forward um I'm having a guy I'm having a lawyer which I'm only going to pay probably cost me more than about 1,00 bucks but he's just making sure that ver is is protector out there i' heard something but I think we're good to go and U and all that oh yeah what there is 12 5 under the radar you just keep a [Music] step F yeah [Music] um okay um let's see it right2 short it is clear from the video that Mr Canon is accepting bribery selling the oath of his office violating the Integrity of the government and betray praying the citizens of Charlotte you say that's what it is that's what it is it is okay thank you thank you all right um when will you be ready to kind of get started with everything else you just kind of going through the process now just working through the properties that you need to you within I'm trying to get in the scheduling is youting my GC here kind of run through the building to identify any problems that we're going to have then you know pass on you but like I said within 30 days I'll have something in March 2024 after 8 hours of his arrest Canon resigned from his position as he should have for betraying the citizens of Charlotte in June 2014 Patrick pleaded guilty to one count of honest Services wire fraud he was sentenced to 44 months in jail after he pleaded guilty to accepting $50,000 as bribe followed by two years of supervised release judge Whitney also ordered Canon to pay a fine of10 $10,000 in forfeiture in the amount of $50,000 it is alarming to see politicians trying to use their power and influence to get out of tricky situations however it is also heartening to see that some of them were held accountable for their actions if you enjoyed this video be sure to drop a like And subscribe for more goodbye
