Orlando police officer drives off after being pulled over for speeding

An Orlando police officer has been dismissed from his position after video showed him driving off after being pulled over for speeding in Seminole County, local media outlets report.

WESH explains the officer, Alexander Shaouni, is accused of driving nearly 40 miles over the speed limit in a marked patrol SUV. He reportedly was going at least 80 mph in a 45 mph zone down Florida Avenue.

Body camera footage shows Shaouni arguing with the Seminole County deputy who pulled him over – allegedly refusing to hand over his driver's license before driving away, the media outlet explains.

“What? I am going into work my man, why are you trying to pull me over as I’m going into work?” Shaouni asks in the video. The deputy then replied, "Because you’re going 80 in a 45."

Update: He was fired and charged with multiply violations. All because he was running late and felt he was above the law.

Imagine trying to talk to that police officer when you're just a citizen.

'What does it look like I am dressed for?' It looks like he's dressed to abuse power.

The deputy became a cop for the right reasons

I salute you sir for holding your peers accountable. Stay in the fight brother!

If he didn’t respect another Law Enforcement Officer I wonder what he’s doing to regular citizens who don’t carry a badge.
The arrogance he displayed is nauseating.
Thank you sir for making him accountable.

It’s not a cop stopping another cop, it’s a good employee stopping a bad employee from endangering others lives,

[joshuamilnes]

This is a problem, that guy needs be held accountable.

[MsNobelle]

I love this so much. A cop that ACTUALLY cares. Not going to be influenced by anything.
