It’s because everyone knows the police don’t do anything to punish drivers yet blame it on anything else they possibly can.

I got t-boned on my motorcycle by a driver making an illegal turn. They tried to drive off but I got in-front of their car and a bystander helped. Police came she straight up told them she made an illegal turn and hit me blaming me for being in her way. They didn’t give her a ticket or anything I had to practically beg them to write an incident report.

You are lucky they even showed up. A lot of times they don't even bother even if there are injuries.

Maybe we need to set up a bounty system so people can anonymously report hit and run drivers and collect 25% of the fine while the city collects the rest

Cops actively refuse to do anything now because they got their fee fees hurt when people wanted bad cops held accountable. They’re really teaching us all a lesson for not licking enough boot.

Maybe if they are cops , I still had to go to court and get my points removed because I was doing 35 on a 25mph. So something like this has to be MUCH worse in terms of punishments unless they have connections of course
