Oh absolutely not, I was just taking further to show even if they did this isn’t even a case the CPS (Crown Prosecution Service) would allow the police to press charges for.
they have no obligation to reveal any part of it that would indicate your innocence
So you just don't understand how the legal system works at all, amigo. What you described is completely false. One of the first phases of any court case is discovery, where the opposing party supplies the evidence that they have to support their case. Not including this type of evidence during discovery could get an attorney disbarred and a court case thrown out entirely.
To expand on that, the prosecution wouldn't have an obligation to reveal that evidence to the jury, but they would have an obligation to provide it to the court and/or defense during discovery. And, you know, that seems like something the defense would both use and request if it were missing.
The police will only write a report if there's clear evidence of a crime. So no report will be written day of if there's no evidence beyond an obviously fake note.
No person is going to charge into a store, obtain surveillance footage, track down the person who left the note, realize said person did not hit their vehicle and left a fake note, then contact the police and report them.
No store is going to bother with that without a subpoena or at the very least a cop present, and no cop is going to waste the effort for a vehicle with no damage.
If they have video of you leaving the note, then they also have video of the truck being parked, sitting there without being hit, and the owner returning without any real incident.
And from experience, the cops would tell the owner of the truck to contact their insurance, and if pushed, the most they'd do is file a report. There wouldn't be any investigation, especially without evidence of damage.
Good point. Don't park nearby at least. If you do wind up getting identified and blamed you could probably tell the truth and say he was being an asshat in traffic and you were trolling him, but you never know how the justice system will work.
They'd have to file a police report and report to their insurance before security will release/show any footage. This was a while ago from someone who worked at a red retail store.
Paranoia? That's just Flock cameras. If they have a frame of OP getting into their car with a legible plate, they can probably get a close to real time ping if the area is ""served""
If you want to have a tiny chance to see a perfectly good car get towed for no reason add "I have the part that fell out."
If they have the video of you placing the note then they will have the video of you not hitting them.
After reading your posts, I've come to the conclusion that you know absolutely nothing about the law or how a case would be tried.
Please do not listen to this person on any legal matters.
Or anyone else that your arnt paying to be your lawer, even if they are a lawyer.
So they use the video as evidence of the person placing the note. The same video the defence will view to show that their client did not hit the car.
I doubt that any cop would even bother writing a report for it.

Then that snippet wouldn't be admissible in court.
And which bit of damage did you confess to? They have no evidence of what you confessed to doing.
And how do you prove that ding is the one the note leaver caused?
just because its a civil court doesnt mean it is based off vibes
"Yes Officer, he damaged my car. this damage right here. The Proof? I say so your honor. I rest my case."
Like a photo of the driver circling the car, unable to spot where the damage was, immediately after reading the note? Hmmmm....
What if they removed the word “hit” from the note.
So it just said “I accidentally your car”
Then you’re not really admitting to anything.
Would also probably frustrate the guy even more.
Just go super ambiguous
"Sorry about your car. Call me."
"Sorry about that, please call me! I have the thing that fell out"
my man is vastly over estimating the work police will do

That's why I have front and rear dashcams.
I don't that's why I just strap GoPros to my car with duct tape
Way cheaper:
yeah but film is fucking expensive dude.
That works too.
They'd have to file a police report and report to their insurance before security will release/show any footage. This was a while ago from someone who worked at a red retail store.
And that's assuming the employees even have access to the parking lot footage

Calling it a "car" as well I'm certain pisses him off. Beautiful.
Ingenious.

Frank Costanza's lawyer?
That would be too conspicuous.
