Police footage captures the moment a Florida county official was pulled over in June for speeding in his Ferrari while attempting to slyly get out of the ticket by stating 'I run the county.'
Flagler County Commission Chairman Joe Mullins was spotted being pulled over for speeding in his red Ferrari for what appeared to be the second time, Fox 29 reported.
The police car dash cam captured the moments when the officer pulled him over on Interstate 95 - including the moment he interrupted the officer to make his professional title known.
The footage shows the unknown officer following Mullins for 20 seconds until the chairman abruptly pulls over.
The audio from the video was slightly muffled as the highway traffic in the background continued.
'I didn't realize,' Mullins can be heard saying as the officer explained he was traveling at 92 mph.
The pair can be briefly heard talking over the ongoing traffic as the officer asks Mullins for his license and registration. The officer then traveled back to his car to process Mullins' information before returning the Ferrari five minutes later.
'So, 92 miles an hour is 22 over the speed limit, ok?,' the officer explained. 'Normally, I give warnings. I give breaks - but it looks like you've been written a warning already, so I do issue the citation. With that being said, it's gonna be payable within 30 days.'
The officer proceeded to explain the citation to Mullins until he was interrupted.
'I'm sorry?' the officer said.
Mullins then answered, 'I run the county so I know how that works.'
The officer responded uncertain of Mullins professional, 'You run the county?'
Mullins answered, 'Yeah, I'm the chairman of the county commission.'

Typical politician arrogance. They think they’ve been appointed king of the world and laws don’t apply to them.
More tyranny of government ... what a surprise
Mullins breaks the law after breaking the law
This is not nearly as bad as the “DO YOU KNOW WHO I AM???!!!” type of videos, it could be almost considered conversational.
I would not fault either party in this case. What is the big deal with this one?
Oh wait... is he a republican?
I am the lineman for the county, and I drive the main road.
Exhibition of speed.
Joe Mullins, Republican, Flagler County Commission, District 4.
King of the turds!
He’s driving a Ferrari. Just how overpaid is this guy.
I wonder if it was an arduous trip or if there were any stops along the way.
(Flagler County is north of Daytona Beach and south of St. Augustine)
The word is "profession" not "professional."
More illiterate modern journalism.
I can’t believe the elites are still playing the old “Don’t you know who I am?” game?
“while attempting to slyly get out of the ticket by stating ‘I run the county.’”
Author excerpted quote and modified by adding the period mark.
The officer had already written the ticket. Dude was venting at being told how the process works.
For those who don’t know, Flagler County is in the area between St. Augustine and Daytona Beach..................
A Ferrari? It just show’s the outrageous amount of money county “officials” make. Thanks to the schlub TAXPAYER!
Do we call this guy Ken?
Billet trumps rank.
Pay the fine. Azzhole.
I condemn and ridicule this behavior which often seems to be the sole province of Leftists.
However, when “non-Leftists” do it, I am just as quick to ridicule and condemn it.
