Nope. The fucktard floors it (since the light is now green) and goes around me. So I get in my car, chase him for about a mile or two, and jot down his license plate. After a mile or so I realize this is hopeless. What I am going to do, somehow get ahead of him in my Civic, swerve in front, and make him stop? Then drag him out of the car and piledrive his ass into the pavement? No, that's what we have the po-lice for. Or so I stupidly thought...
I figure hey, this dude hit me, then took off. Text book hit and run. I have the make, model, and license plate of his car. I go to the cops and give them all this information. They tell me there's not much they can do (since it was an out of state plate) and that I should basically go fuck myself. What more could I have possibly given them? The guy's blood type and astrology sign?
So in short, the cops suck and will do nothing to help you. The mistake is assuming they care enough to help you.
