Details of Richard Pusey Eastern Freeway video revealed

Richard Pusey claimed four police officers being hit by a truck was "justice" as he taunted them as they lay dying on the Eastern Freeway.

Confronting audio the 42-year-old recorded instead of helping the four police officers after they'd been struck by Mohinder Singh on April 22 was played during his pre-sentencing hearing at the Victorian County Court today

Pusey filmed Leading Senior Constable Lynette Taylor, Senior Constable Kevin King, Constable Glen Humphris and Constable Josh Prestney as they lay with fatal injuries, exclaiming "that's amazing".

"I guess I'll be getting a f---ing Uber home," he said in the audio played to court.

"Lucky I went and had a piss.

"That is f---ing justice."

Witnesses asked the Porsche driver to help but he continued filming and taunting the officers.

Pusey has admitted to outraging public decency, reckless conduct endangering serious injury and drug possession at the scene of the single largest loss of life in the history of Victoria Police.

Defence lawyers today said Pusey suffered from severe mental illness.

The truck hit the officers who were standing on the side of the Eastern Freeway near the Chandler Highway after they stopped Pusey to impound his car after he was stopped for allegedly speeding.

The mortgage broker avoided being struck as he was urinating behind a guard railing.

The outraging public decency charge relates to Pusey filming and taunting the dying officers which was captured on Leading Senior Constable Lynette Taylor's body camera.

Mohinder Singh was behind the wheel of the prime mover that plowed into the police officers.

The 48-year-old pleaded guilty to culpable driving causing their deaths.

He is due to be sentenced April 14.
