My question involves a traffic ticket from the state of: Georgia
At the beginning of last month I was involved in an accident in my work parking lot in which the man parked next to me was parked over the line and in my space to the point where I hit him as I was backing out. I pulled back into the space and went in to tell the man what had happened and he told me he didn't have a license or insurance (I now realize that I should always file a police report, etc. This was my first accident so I was a bit flustered). A few weeks later the police show up at my house because there was an investigation under way about me being involved in a hit and run. I explained to the officer what happened, stating that yes I did hit the car but I went inside to tell the man. The report has the wrong date and it is filed as a hit run. I can prove that I wasn't at work during the stated time that it supposedly occurred.
Should I report a false police report and if so how would I go about doing so?

Is there any video surveillance in the parking lot and, if so, how long do they keep the recordings?
