My question involves criminal law for the state of: CA
Long story short: I was riding my motorcycle and a truck cut me off. I chased after him and slap his side mirror. the mirror part detached and I took off. He was behind me for sometime and I kind of shake him loose but the guy called the cop and found me on the road
first thing the cop said to me is honestly goes a long way,It could be big or you guys can deal with this with insurance. I told him the guy cut me off and I tapped his "window." He asked me why I am riding all around the places and I replied " Its a sunday ride, I just want to ride around." He said he is helping me. I asked what exactly are you helping me with? He replied by not arresting you cause the guy wanted us to arrest you.
He told me they have to open a case and took all my information including my SSN and gave me a piece of paper has the case number on it. I asked him whats gonna happens next. He said a detective gonna call me and its up to the DA gonna file any charges. It could be vandalism.
Whats gonna happen next? Its been a week now?
I called lots of lawyers they said different things to me. And i did a little bit of reserach, they they would have get me into trouble. They could have arrested me that day but why they didnt?
