I finally met with the police about this incident. I arrived at the station and I was brought into an interrogation area -- no, not the room with two way glass

I had to answer some questions and fill out paperwork. After all the paperwork was finished, we went out and he examined my car. Of course the lack of damage was pretty telling and he said I would receive a decision in a few weeks. He basically told me that 99.9% I would not be charged. At that point I departed the station. This was a few weeks ago.

Today I received the official notification that the case has been closed because "the striking vehicle in question did not commit the damages to the complainant vehicle."

So glad I didn't spend any money on a lawyer!! Thanks everyone who chimed in that I should just go in on my own!! Just as an fyi, I did consult with an attorney who told me I should not go and answer any questions and that I should pay him to handle the case at the rate of $800 per hour.

Now I am wondering why the guy who recklessly chased and harassed me and then tried to make a false claim to my insurance company is not being charged with fraud. How do people get away with this stuff?

The race of the perp may yield your answer -white=white privilege
black=back privilege

So now, in addition to thinking you're an above average driver, you now also think you're smarter than a lawyer.

You've got a bright future.

OP here. Did I ever say I was an above average driver? Please point me to the paragraph where I may have mentioned that. You are either confused or you are a lawyer that is pissed off that I didn't need a you to defend me.

Good for you OP. I am not surprised the lawyer advised you to use his services. That would have been an easy case for him and you would have been out thousands of dollars.

Glad everything is resolved OP. What a pain.
