Orlando, Florida — On June 6, 2023, at 12:15 p.m. a Seminole County Sheriff's Deputy on routine patrol stopped Orlando Police Officer, 35-year-old Alexander Shaouni for driving nearly twice the speed limit along a stretch of road. Officer Shaouni was going 80 mph in a 45 mph zone down Florida Avenue. When the deputy caught up with Shaouni, authorities say he didn't stop and drove through cars to avoid the deputy. The deputy eventually got him to pull over at the intersection of State Road 434 and Hammock Lane. During the stop, footage shows Shaouni dressed in police uniform driving a marked Orlando Police Department SUV. When questioned, body camera footage shows Shaouni becoming furious.

“What? I am going into work, my man,” he says to the deputy. “Why are you trying to pull me over as I’m going into work?”. "Because you’re going 80 in a 45," the deputy responds. When asked for his driver's license, the officer says no, returns to his cruiser, and drives away. On Tuesday, the Orlando Police Department said that the agency was notified by the sheriff's office Friday about Shaouni being criminally charged. Shaouni is charged with resisting an officer, reckless driving and fleeing and eluding a law enforcement officer. He turned himself in Friday to the Seminole County Jail and was released on $9,000 bond. Orlando police said Shaouni has been relieved of his duties pending the Seminole County Sheriff’s Office criminal investigation as well as Orlando police’s internal affairs investigation.

Does this type of indifference/disrespect of the law leave any criminal cases he was involved with vulnerable?

I can't help but feel like the deputy that pulled him over is going to get fricked with a lot by the Orlando Police department. Professional courtesy, and all that. I hope I'm wrong, because frick the police officer for being an a-hole, the deputy did the right thing, IMO.

There is no rules for officers - they fly by me all the time with no lights on. The other night 2 Tahoes flashed for truck to move out of passing lane and then proceed to go by at 100 mph with no lights or sirens on. They do it all the time. Rules for thee and not for me.

Props to the deputy for pulling him over, that means there’s a chance he could be in the very very small minority of LEOs who aren’t complete pieces of shite

Both are tools. He complains of first guy doing 80 but then goes well over 100 to catch him on narrow two lane road.

I was wondering what the rules were for pulling over a marked unit. Makes sense they could, but never have seen it. The City cop sure was an a-hole. He even used the obfuscation of "I'm going to work, what does it look like I'm doing". Last time I got pulled over for speeding, I should have said "I'm going to tractor supply, what does it look like I'm doing".

Not sure what the rules are when they're going to a call. I did a couple of ride alongs and there were a couple of times we got up to speed before turning on lights and sirens. Generally I'd think if you have to exhibit high speeds or drive erratically you'd need to hit the lights, but it seems like there are some situations where they sometimes don't.

Did you expect him to go slower than 80 to try to catch the guy?

If I had to guess, based on the Orlando POs attitude, nobody that works with him will care.

I love it when a cop does 30 MPH over the speed limit to pull someone over that was doing 10 MPH over.

The deputy can easily argue that he was concerned something happened to the officer who should have been driving the vehicle or the vehicle was stolen. A police officer shouldn’t be driving like that with no emergency lights so is it far fetched to think a bad guy somehow got control of the vehicle but didn’t know how to activate the lights/sirens? When the cop tried to evade the officer and wouldn’t stop, the deputy would be even more concerned.

His fellow officers should feel good that this deputy has their backs.
