Somehow read this that he avoided arrest because of the “Super Speeder” law. Like if you speed fast enough, it’s so impressive, they let you out of the ticket. Didn’t realize this was NOTtheonion. Made for an interesting interpretation on my first read.

178.6 kph
So slightly above regular Autobahn cruising speed, definitely not super speed.
Oh scheiße, ich muss gleich gähnen.
(And to everyone who doesn't know: The Autobahn is built for high speed cruising and people keep mostly to the right - so there's no high speed "weaving" through traffic. Mostly. Idiots also exist over here, but sometimes traffic is low enough to go fast in a very relaxed way. I've driven in the US and there 180kph would be wild)
Isn't this the same piece of shit that shoved his service weapon down someone's throat during sex, used Flock to stalk his ex, casually used racial slurs in texts, and threw the Nazi salute in photos? Don't worry, I already know it is, but it's probably just your average Tuesday for most county deputies in Florida.

You're gonna have to be more specific /s
The Florida Highway Patrol caught Brevard County Deputy of the Year Michael Fultz riding his motorcycle 111 mph while off duty in February but did not arrest him under Florida’s ‘Super Speeder’ law, News 6 has learned.
Instead, the FHP trooper issued Fultz a civil traffic citation for exceeding the posted speed limit by 9 mph, records show.
“I’m not going to take you to jail, Fultz,” Trooper Joshua Provencher told the deputy, according to a video recording of the traffic stop obtained by News 6. “Obviously you and I are buddies. I’m not trying to show favoritism, either.”
Well, to be fair, as long as he said he's not showing favoritism, that means he's not showing favoritism. I see nothing wrong here and I'm glad these stand up guys don't get in trouble.
Oh well if there's no favoritism. So you or I could do that and he obviously would do the same thing. Or someone who was a different color or religion. No favoritism.
Besides speeding, records indicate Fultz did not have an endorsement on his driver license that is required to operate a motorcycle.
What's the phrase? "Never commit two crimes at the same time". I guess we need to add "...unless you're a cop, and then its all cool, bro".
Then you commit multiple crimes all day long.
FHP also did not address how it might respond to public concerns that the deputy may have received special treatment.
mhm
Isnt this the guy that also stalked his ex with Flock, put his service gun in her mouth, etc etc?
He looks like a husky version of Dangle from Reno 911.
