I don't know about the law in OK, but the story says the original officer lost contact with the offender, and then, later, SOME OTHER officer made the stop, apparently without any further attempt to flee. In SOME jurisdictions, a good case could be made that "some other" vehicle was the offender, unless there's good dashcam footage showing the plates.
Still, I really don't want someone driving 208 MPH on any road that
I may be driving on at the time.
Had a car hit my Radar at 167 once. Didn't bother to leave the hole. He also managed to avoid the many deer on this stretch of road.
Sounds like it could have been a former colleague who was thinking about buying a friend's custom Studebaker Golden Hawk several decades ago. As a passenger, they drove from Hudson, WI to St. Paul, MN at "well above" 150 MPH. (At least
some of the route is downhill.)
He bought the car, and a few days later was parked in a Hudson diner's lot when a cop came in, circled the lot, and came into the diner demanding to know whose car it was. Colleague admitted it was his and he'd JUST bought it. Cop demanded to see the papers, and once he was satisfied as to the date of purchase, he said "DO YOU KNOW HOW THIS CAR WAS BEING DRIVEN THREE DAYS BEFORE YOU BOUGHT IT?!?!"
Colleague acted surprised and assured the cop he would never, ever, even THINK about doing such a thing.
