Looks like they're looking for creative ways to get around the problem of hiring enough cops... It kind of makes sense, I guess?

This is a great idea - taking down an official report isn't something that requires a gun.

yea, if there's no serious injury then I completely agree.

... not calling these "humorous injuries"...

I get it...

A certain part of me likes the idea of serving the public. However I've never needed a cop's help to deal with a traffic accident before. Typically the person who fucked up owns up to it and we work it out like the adults we are.

Eh, I got hit+ran in cary 16 years ago, it was nice to have the report, but the insurance did the work.
