Amazing how so many cops think they are above the law.

[JohnDoe-tjvy]

Nice to see cops upholding their oath.

Why blur his face? If this was a regular citizen, there will be no privacy given to him.

[EyeTunz]

Infuriating. Completely entitled. If someone ran from him this way and jumped out they'd probably be dead.

[budo]

When asked to produce his driver’s license he just said no, gets back in his car, and drives offs. In what universe could you or I do that without being apprehended.

"He's Repentant, He's sorry for what he did" - Only because he got fired and about to be charged. If he was sorry at the time of pulling over, he would've given the other officer his ID.

wish i could break the law and get paid leave for it, absolutely ridiculous.

[dicklambert]

"I'm going to work my man." You mean it's okay for a police officer to go 80 on a 45 just because he's going to work? Why is your face even blurred out?

[animalloverjulian]

Unless he’s going to an emergency, simply driving to work isn’t an excuse to go double the limit. As a cop you’re supposed to keep the public safe, not endanger them.

Imagine having your vehicle totaled, lying in a hospital ward and being told the driver who hit you was a cop going twice the speed limit on his way to work....then breathing a sigh of relief knowing it was all for a good cause.

Thank you to all the good cops out there. You guys have no clue how much you all are appreciated by us law abiding citizens. We need you all. Thank you for your service.

No one is above the law, watching this people removed form their duties is priceless 🙌

[nbrown]

As it should be ... no one is above the law.. not even current or past presidents

[zig]

If this was an ordinary citizen they would be given a ticket, car towed, and arrested

[abemo]

“Are you drunk?” “No I’m the captain” 😂😂😂 tells you everything you need to know

[luiscuba]

Good cop vs Bad cop. I like the good cop.

I am 67 years old and have lived in Orlando most of my life. Over the years I've had a couple of encounters with Orlando and Orange county Florida officers. The officers were extremely rude. One officer blaming me for my own home getting broken into. Another officer getting an attitude after I asked him a question about a parade that was going on at the time. I asked him what was "Orlando City", at the time it was the new sports soccer team that I was unaware of. He looked at me in disgust and didn't answer. I walked away hoping I wouldn't get arrested for something he would make up. I wish all police departments would have to answer a citizens review board but I know the police would fight that. I'm proud of the Seminole County officer that tried to pull over Alexander Shaouni but would he have left a citizen just drive off?

[JKuster]

As a former MP, we were always instructed that we have to hold ourselves to a higher standard than what we enforce, maybe these police officers including these police captains should do the same.

[DizzleDog]

I’m sure he’s sorry for what he did after he got caught 🙄
