We’ve all been there: You’re late to work, behind the wheel, going a bit quicker than it is best to, when instantly your rear-view mirror lights up blue and crimson. Shit. Now you’re gonna be much more late, after handing over your license and registration and getting your self a shiny new rushing ticket in alternate.
However no less than one cop in Orlando thinks, it appears, that they’re above this all-too-common situation. After being pulled over for touring practically double the posted restrict in his cruiser, the cop was indignant at being stopped — after which merely drove off.
The Orlando officer was touring by the Seminole County Police Division’s jurisdiction with neither lights nor sirens lively, in keeping with bodycam footage, and was clocked at 80 in a forty five zone. When pulled over by a Seminole County officer, the Orlando cop didn’t appear to know what was occurring — he was on his option to work, you see, and rushing doesn’t rely in the event you’re late. Or in the event you’re a cop, even once you aren’t actively on obligation.
After refusing at hand over his license, the Orlando cop merely obtained again in his cruiser and left, ignoring the path of sirens behind him. He was arrested and charged with reckless driving, resisting an officer, and fleeing and eluding a regulation enforcement officer.
The Orlando cop was later “relieved of obligation” pending an inside investigation. Orlando police gave the next assertion to WESH:
“The Orlando Police Division was notified by the Seminole County Sheriff’s Workplace on Friday, June ninth that OPD Officer Alexander Shaouni was concerned in an incident that occurred in Seminole County that resulted in legal expenses,” OPD stated in an announcement. “Officer Shaouni has been relieved of obligation pending the Seminole County Sheriff’s legal investigation and OPD’s Inner Affairs investigation.”
