Out of all the nutjob Oklahoma lawmakers who have given us material to write about over the past three or four years, nobody has done a better job than State Senator Paul Scott.
As a result of his embarrassing behavior and antics, we probably shouldn't be surprised that Sen. Scott is now facing a couple of primary challengers in the upcoming election. We also shouldn't be surprised that multiple Ogle Moles have reached out to us this week, providing a 2019 Newcastle Police report that documents a traffic stop where Sen. Scott pulled a Ron Burgandy-inspired "Do You Know Who I Am?" to try to get out of a speeding ticket.
Check it out:
As I documented above, there are lots of reasons not to vote for or support a guy like Paul Scott, but can we really blame him for trying to use his power and privilege to get out of a speeding ticket? Outside of enriching your own business, I always thought getting special treatment from law enforcement was a perk of the job.
Although his attempt at "I'm kind of a big deal" didn't work on the officer, Sen. Scott – a man of high character and values and a proud supporter of law enforcement – was obviously kind and courteous to the officer, and thanked him for his service to the city of Newcastle... right???
Wow. Can you believe a guy who allegedly supports the police would be a dick to the police when they're simply doing their job? Since Paul Scott appears to be a massive hypocrite, the answer is, "Yes."
