Richard Pusey has been denied bail after allegedly taunting a police officer as she lay dying following a catastrophic crash.
The 41-year-old was pulled over in his Porsche for allegedly speeding at 149 km/h down the Eastern Freeway in Kew, Melbourne, in April when a truck veered into the emergency lane.
Four officers were killed in the crash, and Pusey, a former nurse, allegedly fled the scene rather than render assistance.
The millionaire mortgage broker is accused of telling Leading Senior Constable Lynette Taylor 'you've 'f***ed my f***ing car' as she died.
In footage he allegedly distributed following the crash, Pusey is accused of telling Constable Taylor it was 'absolutely amazing' while she groaned for help.
Magistrate Jo Metcalf described the alleged filming of the graphic scene as 'highly intrusive and morally repugnant' but noted it was not illegal.

She concluded Pusey posed an unacceptable risk of committing further offences on bail.
'My view is that Mr Pusey poses an unacceptable risk of committing offences on bail and endangering the safety and welfare of members of the public,' the magistrate said.
A psychiatric report found Pusey 'suffers with narcissistic rage', his lawyer argued at the bail hearing.
He has been prescribed Ritalin and a low-dose anti-psychotic to assist with his conditions.
Three other officers, Senior Constable Kevin King and Constables Glen Humphris and Josh Prestney, were also killed.

He allegedly filmed the graphic scene for more than three minutes before fleeing and sharing footage, including with a federal police officer he knew.
The mortgage broker is facing 12 charges including driving at a dangerous speed, reckless conduct endangering life, the destruction of evidence, failing to render assistance and perverting the course of justice.

On the night in question, Pusey also allegedly tested positive to drugs including cannabis.
On the night of the fatal crash, Pusey reportedly emailed an officer at Victoria Police to explain how the ordeal had unfolded.
'I feel very unwell as what I saw was horrific. I went to the doctors and he asked me to see him in the morning. Three males died instantly. There was a doctor at the scene within seconds. I was behind the steel barrier just moments before the truck came through. I have to sleep now as my head is fuzzy,' news.com.au reported.
The truck driver also involved in the crash, Mohinder Singh, remains in custody charged with four counts of culpable driving causing the officers' death.
