If it happened on private property you can beat it. If it happened on public or govornment property it is in the best intrest of the law enforcement establishment to cite you. It has also to do with the cameras being used in court cases. If that camera records a crime and they prosecute that establishes some type of reliability for the camera systems.
Was it over 500.00 dollars worth of damage? If it was they have to do it.
So yeah your going to have to eat that one or get a lawyer.

Absolutely - don't you know the police can do whatever the hell they want? After viewing the tape they may decide (a) that an offence has been committed and (b) they have reasonable grounds to arrest and charge you with that offence. Whether or not the witness will cooperate or come to Court, or whether the crown attorney thinks he has a case against you - are questions for another day.

You can't be charged with anything in a parking lot as it is private property (unless you took off, which it sounds like you didn't). Here in Canada the only requirement is that you report any accident where there is over $1000 dollars damage to the police. You can make arrangements between drivers without police intervention otherwise.

ok, shall we seem on the info. You drove a cra, superb? Your BAC replaced into two times the legal shrink, superb? That sounds like DUI to me. after all you drank, don't be so ignorant as to think of that once that a a million/2 of pint is going to be what places your BAC at double the legal point. You, like so nay human beings anymore, choose to blame the police, or blame your acquaintances or all people else on your issues. you're a grown up. everyone knows which you had better than adequate to be over a .08 BAC. You drove besides. Take the outcomes, and supply up pretending which you probably did no longer do something incorrect.

I guess so. I knew a guy who stabbed someone--a friendly stabbing--and the guy didn't want to press charges, but the cops pressed charges. This guy was as poor as a churchmouse and the judge ordered him to go to a psychiatrist who charged $400 an hour. This was about 20 years ago.

In the UK if the Police believe you were driving Without Due Care and Attention you could be charged.

The insurance will only decide whos liable for any damage , However if the police feel you were driving negligently they can definately have you for careless driving especially if the have you as the offender of the earlier incident.

Assuming it's private property and there was no injuries I would say no. Also, even if it were on the street and there were no injuries and an 'uncooperative' victim who refused to press charges, I would again say they would not charge you, but the latter is possible if they chose to, assuming a traffic law was broken and/or for failure to report an accident.

Yes, you can. The laws are specific and they can charge you
