I was involved in a traffic accident over two weeks ago. Some elderly lady blew a red light by a good 5 or 6 seconds easy, and pulled out in front of me, and my car T-boned hers. Cops were called to the scene and the lady at fault went in the ambulance. A witness to the whole thing stayed and waited for the cops and gave then her testimony telling them that it was clearly the lady who was at fault, and so her testimony should be included in the accident report. My car is totaled. However because the car was older, had 100K miles on it, and was only worth $3K on the books, I only had liability insurance on it. No collision.
Therefore I have to rely on the lady's insurance company to pay me the book value of my car. Here's the trouble: It's been over two weeks, and the accident report is still not available, (which is highly unusual according to a family member of mine who used to be on the force for well over a decade) and I won't get her insurance company to pay for the car until they see that accident report, and it clearly states that the other driver,(their customer) was at fault. But a co-worker of mine just saw on the local news channel two days ago that the very same PD from that very same town had a clash with the BLM group, and the mayor sided against the cops, and it got so stupid that the mayor even told the cops that they could no longer change into their uniforms inside the police station, but instead had to change outside in the parking lot, just to make an example of them to appeaze the BLM group and their supporters.
So many of the cops in that town just quit as a result of this recent turn of events. In fact so many of them quit that they had to bust the detectives back down to being cops again. So now that the cop who was at my accident scene and was supposed to write up the accident report is likely gone, IDK if I'll ever obtain that accident report, and in that case, I'll have to eat that $3K that the lady's insurance company would have owed. This is what the political climate is beginning to do. The liberal mayors are siding with the BLM groups no matter what they do. I will add though that IDK any of the details of the clash that the cops had with the BLM group. But lets face it, it's no secret that many cops all over the USA are getting the short end of the stick, and being treated like crap by the majors due to the trends brought on by a small minority of crooked unelthical cops. So this has just hit home for me now. And this comes immediately after I was out of work for a while without pay due to a bad back injury. In fact, this accident occured while I was on my way to work during my first day back on the job. This sucks!!!!
