| I am posting really late to all these situations but I had a very similar situation years ago.
I pulled into a public restaurant, parked, turned my car off, opened my door and put my foot out the door and was about to stand up and a police officer rammed into my cars rear end doing some mighty fine damage.
They didn't issue either of us a ticket because it was in a parking lot and NO he didn't have to pay for my car to be fixed even though he had insurance and yes he was in his police cruiser. Another thing that pissed me off and I thought was stupid the police report lied big time. There was a Van parked next to the officer and I was parked directly behind the officer and the police report said the van was obstructing the officers view, if anyone reading the report is stupid they would agree with it but the drawing of the cars showed clearly that the van was parked next to the officer not behind not in front or nothing like that, it was on the right side of the officer I was directly behind the officer. I did not pursue it because I was told by a upper guy at the police station at the time you cant fight the police and win it isn't worth it. The only reason I would of lost was because it was an officer go figure.
Don't get me wrong I am not against the police or judges but some of them are down right money hungry and don't see the right from wrong in most situations.
