Reply to comment by _TommySalami in Got rear ended this morning 9am with car full of kids, driver fled the scene, but cops gave ME a hard time. by OceanAvenue187

Camden police told me to fuck off and stop wasting their time after they refused to do anything when I was in a hit and run. The response I got at the station was "well, your car's fine if you got here, and you're standing up, so you're not hurt. What do you want me to do about it?"

My car was stolen in Hoboken and the cops insisted that if I didn’t see somebody steal it I have no proof it was stolen. It was just a “missing” car...

It’s still missing to this day, 10 years later.

I've had Hoboken police tell me how they've been informed to juke the stats like that, and I've had old family tell me it's longstanding. Ever since ~2000 they want to pretend there's no crime there and it is a post-grad playground.

If they didn't take your statement and file a report, you could've sued the department.

"Oh this? This isn't stolen cash. It is missing cash that happened to find."

That's their fucking problem not yours. They dont have to agree with you. Who cares what they think? They don't make the laws and they aren't judges. Although they often think they're both.
