i never recieved a citation or had been arrested for a leaving the scene of an accident. Another driver claimed i had hit his car and i drove off because i dont have a drivers liscence. I didnt see any damage on my ride but a cop called me any asked what happened on the phone and i told him everything. The officer told me it would be a civil matter. a week later he called me and said he was sending a report for DWLS and leaving the scence to the prosecuters desk. I called the court house and the file was on the desk being investigated and i called a week after that and there was no longer a file on my incident. did they through it out for lack of evidence?

Police officers don't issue warrants, Judges do. Likely yes the the D.A.'s office dropped the case for lack of evidence. I would make sure though.

To answer your main question yes. When the officer called you he or she wrote what was said on the phone. The officer most likely has photos of the other persons car, and the statement of the other person and put together a supplement report for the Courts. Also the other person could have filed a police report with the local police department.

About the Courts . . . If you called the city courts (Mins.) They may have forwarded the case to the District Attorneys Office then a County prosecutor may be preparing to charge you with not performing duties of a driver (AKA hit and run.)

Some states have laws by the states supreme court were some cases have to have a pre hearing or grand jury hearing before an indictment of felony charges against defenant. A grand jury is a hearing of grand jurys who decide if there is enough evdience against the suspect/def to charge with a crime. A true bill means that the defeant will be charged, and if there is no true bill all charges are drop/ case is dismissed.

Charges can be filed without you ever having been cited or arrested. So long as information is presented to a prosecuting attorney from which it can be determined that you committed a crime, the prosecutor can file an accusatory pleading. In general, "hit and run" laws apply only if there was an accident causing property damage or injury, but the prosecutor does not have to accept your word that there was none, paricularly if there is visible damage to either vehicle. At any rate, you have confessed to driving without a license, and I think it unlikely that this violation will simply be ignored.

In most jurisdictions of which I am aware, they will not issue a warrant for your arrest when a charge is filed without first sending you a letter and allowing you to appear voluntarily, but you should check to see what the practice is in your jurisdiction.

BTW, "hit and run" is a FAR more serious crime than driving without a license.

you're in part ultimate - arrest warrants can in trouble-free terms be issued via a court docket. whether, it is not considerable how previous you're, in case you're committing against the regulation then you definately would be arrested for it. There are some circumstances the place a ascertain must be present day for thinking. What the officer grew to become into probable attempting to speak to you is that in case you do no longer provide up calling/texting this individual, he could post a request for an arrest warrant from the decide/Justice of the Peace/despite court docket good handles warrants on your jurisdiction. whether, I doubt a decide would entertain any such difficulty. the two it grew to become right into a scare tactic, or it grew to become into somebody posing as a police officer. you would be arrested for harrassment, however the familiar technique would be for a police to return out on your place and talk with you approximately it first - no longer flow to a decide for a warrant. greater, in trouble-free terms a court docket can order you to no longer have touch with yet another individual.

If it is a civil matter, that means no criminal charges!
It sounds like you are in the clear, but I would do some more follow up on this. You don't want to have a bench warrant issued for you and be arrested at work/school/wherever one day. They don't accept "but I didn't know" as an excuse.

Please stay out from behind the wheel of a car until you can drive. If you do cause an accident and have no license, insurance, etc, you will be in HUGE trouble.

There is a chance that because you were not there and there was no signed statement from you, it was dropped.It may have also been because based on the evidence that was given, it was not enough to do anything to you. On things like this, I don't question.
