Because they can make your life a lot worse than one little complaint can make theirs.

I have a small amount of experience with traffic cops, not going to say how - I just do. They are generally viewed as the outsiders in the force with general duty coppers giving them heaps, unfortunately most dont have a say what their posting will be.

I'll get in contact with my mate and find out .. he might just be able to give us car details .. what day and time did it happen ..

This is usually the second port of call after witness contact by the investigating officer, but if there were no injuries or immidiate charges laid it will not be acted upon - instigating driver cannot be ID'd via cam.

Wow. This is a truly saddening story. Adam, you just HAVE to lodge a complaint with the police department. Demand a written apology from the traffic cop in question, for basically causing you undue stress while you were, in all likelihood, in shock after the accident. And essentially calling you a liar when he threatened you with charges.

Seriously dude, don't stand for it. Get a complaint and investigation recorded against this dickhead officer.

Miles is a smart man, ALL police associations and events are logged, they pull your rego, then registered owner and then pull you over based on the records accrued. It is SSOOOO much better not to have a history than start one yourself.

Sorry to sound like a prick Adam but get your insurance, thank god your not hurt, then start the wonderful hunt for a new Soarer and part her out.

Yeh fair enough that makes sense. On a side note my mate had his v8 soarer written off yesterday too. Some old lady driving a beemer sideswiped him, he subsequently spun out, mounted a kerb and took out a bus stop sign...at least she stopped though.
