We’ve all been there: You’re late to work, behind the wheel, going a bit faster than you should, when . Shit. Now you’re gonna be even more late, after handing over your license and registration and getting yourself a shiny new speeding ticket in exchange.

But at least one cop in Orlando thinks, it seems, that they’re above this all-too-common scenario. After , the cop was indignant at being stopped — and then simply drove off.

The Orlando officer was traveling through the Seminole County Police Department’s jurisdiction with neither lights nor sirens active, according to bodycam footage, and was clocked at 80 in a 45 zone. When pulled over by a Seminole County officer, the Orlando cop didn’t seem to understand what was going on — he was on his way to work, you see, and speeding doesn’t count if you’re late. Or if you’re a cop, even when you aren’t actively on duty.

After refusing to hand over his license, the Orlando cop simply got back in his cruiser and left, ignoring the trail of sirens behind him. He was arrested and charged with .

The Orlando cop was later “relieved of duty” pending an internal investigation. Orlando police gave the following statement to WESH:

“The Orlando Police Department was notified by the Seminole County Sheriff’s Office on Friday, June 9th that OPD Officer Alexander Shaouni was involved in an incident that occurred in Seminole County that resulted in criminal charges,” OPD said in a statement. “Officer Shaouni has been relieved of duty pending the Seminole County Sheriff’s criminal investigation and OPD’s Internal Affairs investigation.”

What's Your Stupidest Car Dream?
For years, I’ve had this vague dream that, one day, I will own several very obnoxious cars. I don’t mean a loud-engined beast that will annoy my old neighbors or a Subaru painted bright green. I mean a car that’s so awful—so absolutely egregious—that it will be collectively hated...
