Oklahoma is fucked up.
Driving in a manor not reasonable or proper. That sounds like a reckless or careless.
Guess what? It's not gonna hold up. The cop was way out of line, I'm sure the prosecutor will agree with that. Plead not guilty, talk to the arraignment officer, if he doesn't agree to drop it to unreasonable acceleration and take it off your record, fight it. A jury? WTF is that? On a petty misdemeanor? Not a chance. You'll have a judge, not a jury, and I'd choose a judge over a jury for a traffic offense anyway. There is no way you'll be convicted of what appears to be a reckless for squealing your tires.
Incidentally, if this all went down like you said, maybe the karma will come back around and the jerk cop will get hit by a car or something. I certainly wouldn't feel bad for him.
