I don't have any question that TallCoolOne might have been wronged, both if the car that hit him ran a red light and by the police officer who drove off with stopping to check on him or answer questions. But being wronged and having an actionable legal case are two very different things. That's often hard for people to hear, especially when they're mad.

What it sounds a lot more like Tall has is a justifiable complaint to the sergeant, lieutenant or captain of the traffic division of the police department that responded. By lodging that complaint to the right person at that PD, he might have the opportunity to review any dashboard cam footage from the patrol car and also to go on record about that officer not being as courteous as he should have been. Those things aren't grounds for a plaintiff's action, but good departments do listen to feedback like that when it comes in and note it down for when that officer's performance review rolls around.
birdgirl73 Reviewed by birdgirl73 on . Can I win in Court? OK, last Thursday i was in a wreck. I was stuck under the traffic light trying to make a left, then the light turns red. I have cars behind me so i cant back up, so i make a left turn to clear the intersection, when a guy runs the red light and clips me. Cops show up FINNALLY after 30 minutes. HERE is where the story takes a nasty turn: 1. The cops get out of the car take one look at me, and begin talking to the other driver asking him his side of the story. 2. The cops FAIL to aske Rating: 5
