Genuinely curious, why is it not advisable to post the video in such situations ?If there is a possibility of this ending up in court (and I'd say there is), don't post the video until after the case is done.
Grrr. This is why my bike is always within sight if it's not locked away.
Hey folks.
So I got the video surveillance. Couldn't ask for a better angle. Clearly shows the dude walk by, look at my bike, hop into his truck, and then with his wheels cranked all the way to the right he hits my bike.
He then stops and tries to pick up my bike, fails miserable...probably does more damage while dropping it over and over again. he walks back to the truck...stops....turns around and tries again. Fails miserably again.
He then high tails it out of there.
My insurance has been notified. They says it'll be 100% his fault. I'll send them the video, but I have to re-return to the collision reporting center to get the rest of the other drivers info because he's not sending me his name or insurance company number....but it should be on the police report.
While I'm there I'll show an officer the video and see what they say about charges. An officer friend of mine that saw the video said he thinks "Mischief Over" might be more likely.
and he reported it: probably no charges.

Yeah, if there was some question around the possibility of impaired they're gonna pursue that one....
I dont know why cops pursue some things and not other ones.
No not impaired at all, happened at 10am in sunny weather. He hit a parked car in the parking lot of a grocery store and drove away. Cops showed up at his door and asked for drivers licence and insurance. Somebody took down his licence plates. I dont know why cops pursue some things and not other ones. For stolen bikes in basements they dont even show up,
So I just got back from the reporting center.
The clerks wouldn’t give me the other drivers info from the report he made. I had to talk to one of the officers to get it.
I then spoke to them about the accident. About how he took off and I had to track him down days later and convince him to report it.
...and how he still hadn’t given me his full information and I had to come to the reporting center to get it.
...and how I had this awesome video showing how he clearly sees the bike, runs it down and then tries to pick it up before bailing.
Guess how much ***** the officers gave. Yup, you guessed it...none.
They don’t wanna see the video.
They don’t want to lay any charges. Just a whole lot of “there’s nothing we can do” BS.
So there ya have it folks. You hit a car in a parking lot in Toronto and bolt, there are Zero repercussions when it comes to the law.
I gotta say I’m pretty disappointed.
would be great if you presented these things during a city council meeting...and ask them is this correct procedure? during a public meeting on the record.
lmao corner em. I've known some cops and none were overworked, on the contrary-they abused the system and bragged about collecting overtime while doing personal things. 100k a year, disgusting. whew had to vent lol. great outcome for the op-many are not so fortunate to have video.

Some officers don't want to make the effort if they don't have to. Try a few different officer and mention your police friend. Or better yet, call 911 for an officer to come to the parking lot so they're on call and will make a report.
