How are you gentlemen?

From then on, if somebody hits me at all, the cops are coming to make a report unless it's the equivalent of a door ding.

Police aren't required to write a report if they deem the damage is under a certain threshold and/or nobody is injured. It all comes down to the discretion of the office, with 95% of the time will result in no report. Funny how your taxpayer dollars work, huh, especially when you count how many police on the side of the road "serving" the public.

in va, that threshold is $1k. that doesnt mean he cant look at the evidence and assess who is at fault. a few months back, i was parked in downtown cville and when i came back to my car, there was a huge scratch and fresh red paint flakes all over my rear bumper. i looked at the red truck behind me which had a nice scratch on its bumper at the same height so i went to call the police. the officer looked at the damage and said it was definitely the other guy's fault. the officer specifically told me that if his insurance company was giving me a hard time or anything that he would testify on my behalf in small claims court.
