have you even been involved in a case with crooked cops? [ warning: this is long]?
I am literally in totally shock.
last night my husband received a phone call from his dad at about 3 in the morning saying he needed a ride home and that he was at his friends house. So my husband and I jumped up left to go pick up. when we got there his truck, his friends truck and her mobile home had all been run into, both cars being totaled, and there was a big black pickup facing the cars, with a smashed in front bumper and his front left tire was off. supposedly the next door neighbor was coming home with a few buddys in the car drunk, and was driving like an idiot through the trailer park, and lost control and hit both cars and his next door neighbors home. my father in law was leaving to come home but had only made it on the porch with his friend and her daughter behind him when it happened, all three of them saw this man get out,and walk over to his home and shut the door. they called the cops, but my husband and i got there first. at first they seemed to be on our side, then after about 5 cops were there, they walked over to the guys house and had him come out on the porch and talk to them. at first the guy claimed his truck had been stolen, then later claimed he had let a buddy borrow it. (keep in mind there was 3 witnesses who watched him get out of the truck) by the end of the ordeal the cops and admitted to us that he was drunk, told us he did not have insurance (which is illegal if you don’t in the state of ky) and they also found that his tags on his license plate was not the ones belonging to his truck. while all his is going on, he is calling cops over by name, talking to all of them, laughing and giggling, and so was a friend of his. well turns out the cops didn’t arrest this man! and when my husband demanded to know why, they told us "they did not see him do it, therefore they cant lock him up" then when my husband brings up the no insurance, the officer says, "no one locks you up for not having insurance" and when my husband reminded him the it was illegal in our state not to have it, and that he him self had been locked up once for not having insurance, the officer laughed and said " well the cop who locked you up did you wrong" then my hubby proceeded to remind them of the "switched tags" and again the cop said " there are no rules that require you to get locked up over tags" (aka tampering with tags!!) the drunken man the absolute who time was laughing and talking with at least one officer during all this, and was even allowed to go get all the things out of his truck before they towed it away!
in my opinion this man could have been locked up and charged with a number of things including, fleeing the scene, DUI, public intoxication, no insurance and tampering with tags.
not to mention this guy was so drunk that he kept yelling at me asking if "i was with tim" when I asked who tim was, he yelled "the mother f*ucker who keeps cooking dope in my trailer" and when i said "i don’t know who tim is" he proceeded to call me a lying b*tch etc. all while the cops were right there. and when we finally went to leave to go home, he lunged towards my father in law, yelling a bunch of none sense. again while the cops sat there.
I used to believe it was made up about "crooked cops" and i am in shock. i cant believe that ordeal was handled that way, almost as if my father in law was the bad guy. turns out the drunk guy is the leader of some big bike gang around here, so now my husband and I are worried. that truck was all my father in law had. literally. and now he has nothing. the cops pretty much shrugged and said "sue him" but the guy lives in a run down trailer park (honestly worst than i have even seen" supposedly he doesn’t work and gets $6oo something per month on disability. Im not sure what to do.advice please?
not sure if makes a diffrence but my father in law only had liability inserance
insurance*

Now you know. "Crooked cops" are real- and they are very, very common.
The police tend not to arrest their buddies, as you have discovered. They DO, however, like to arrest people who say things like "aren’t you going to arrest that guy, he’s drunk". You’re lucky YOU didn’t get arrested. They don’t like to be questioned!
Your father in law didn’t have collision insurance, and the drunk didn’t have liability insurance, which means your father in law is out of luck.
He could sue the drunk for the money, but the police report will say that he wasn’t even driving. And, even if you win, you will probably never collect.

You have 2 choices. You can go to the police department and demand to file criminal charges. Have the names of all witnesses and their contact information.

OR

You can give all the information to your insurance company and let THEM pursue the bugger. Give them the names of the witnesses and be ready to testify if it comes down to a civil suit. You will simply be a witness. Your father’s insurance will pay his bills and then will go after the other guy to reimburse it. All he will have to do is potentially testify.

Don’t assume police corruption. We have a real problem here where people don’t get locked up because the jails are always full. You may have the same problem.

edit: If your father-in-law only had liability, he will have to sue the man himself. You do have to understand that the police can’t give you justice on this. You can have the man prosecuted, but you will probably have to push it yourself. File a complaint and follow it up. That doesn’t mean you’ll be able to get any money. That will have to come from a civil court.
