I've had similar experiences. In one example, an uninsured driver backed up into my car as we were leaving a gas station. The driver was obviously intoxicated (seemed like high on marijuana, the smell was quite strong). I asked for their insurance, they said they had none, and said "please don't call the police". They then got back in and drove away. At this point, the station attendant comes out and says that he has video cameras and the tape and that he saw what happened and would do whatever he could to help. I called the police and all they cared about was "was anyone injured? No? Then we're not coming out. You can come here and file a police report if you want." They honestly didn't care about a hit-and-run with an uninsured driver who very likely had drugs on them. I filed a police report and got the damage looked at, and it was less than my deductible to repair, so I just ate it. Nothing ever happened with the police report. It also annoys me that this happened in my home town where the police absolutely love to sit at freeway exits where the service drive lane has a stop sign instead of a yield sign and write tickets all day for people rolling the stop signs, so I very much doubt that they have anything better to do, they just seem super lazy.
