He said there is nothing wrong or dangerous with him driving along on a good country road at 140 KM/H in his FPV and they can all go get f ed. (he was really angry about it.) this may of been just pub talk and he was drunk.

So should cops chase some one just because they were exceeding the speed limit. i think not. all that happens is the risk of accidents is increased.

But if it's a stolen car thief murder ect you would have to chase them down to the end of the earth. you just can't let scum like this get away with it at all.
What is the standard operating procedure for pursuit of a car rocketing down a rural road/highway with little to no traffic? At what point do the cops call it off? Rural police resources are very limited, I would imagine...
