I would like to ask a few questions. But I will provide the following information first:
-I received a phone call from a officer stating that I was under a potential hit and run investigation and would require that I go to the police station to give a statement. She also took the chance to look at my car to see if their is any dents or scratches. I never received a report on my car.
-I got there and the officer said that a third party eye witness reported with my license plate, that I hit a parked car at a mall parking lot and failed to report it (hit and run). The eye witness report stated that the incident occurred at a mall parking lot around 5:30pm on a saturaday, and there was no weather or natural factors that could have caused the hit and run.
-I filled out a statement stating that I was there at that time, but as I recalled, I did not hit any vehicle. The officer asked me if I remembered where I parked and I said no.
-I received a violation ticket charging me with hit and run property damage and will be required to attend a court hearing. There was also information on where the point of impact was for my car and the "victims" car, it showed that my front right portion of the car hit the "victims" back right portion of the car .
-I ran outside to take a look at my car to look at the front portion of my car. There were no dents and only a few minor scratches which is usual from driving down highways with rocks scratching it.
I would like to stress that I have never received any violation tickets before and I know I did not hit the car that day. The questions I have are:
1) Can I request the officers report on the damage on both my car and the "victims" car? Can I also request any evidence that the officer would use to conclude in her writing me a violation ticket?
2) Why did the officer give me a hit and run violation ticket even though she checked my car and saw no marks at all?
3) Should I take pictures of the point of impact from my car to use as evidence in court?
Thank you very much in advance for your advise, I been very stressful since this incident and what boils me up is the fact that I didn't even commit this violation!![]()
