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.“ Full story:
