That was my initial thought as well, then I looked up Philip Odegard.

Oh, Thinkgeek.

Is he the owner?

Not sure, but he is related to it somehow.

He got the ticket and the ticket says its his.

I have a hard time believing he would stop for a cop going 210, esp considering a heli can only do 150-160. Hell if I was going that fast I would just be like fuck you youll never catch me.

Veyron runs out of gas in 12 minutes at top speed.

Now 210 isn't top speed but it can't last that long.

I am more surprised that the cop even tried, if I was the cop I would have just waited for easier prey.

I don't know of any cop that wouldn't haul your ass to jail for 200+. That is besides the fact that unless they had a buddy down the road to set up on you they would never catch you at that speed. By the time they even pulled out you would be long gone.
