          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.

          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.

      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.

      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””

      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.
