Redmond PD wouldn't do anything about a case of credit card fraud when I showed them shipping receipt evidence that the guy who stole my card number lived in my old apartment right next to the police station.
I called the King County Aggressive Driver report line once and here's how the conversation went:
me - "I want to report a driver who just attempted to run my vehicle off the road. I know his license plate, and there is a currently open case with the sheriff's department against this individual regarding previous harassment."
operator - "We can see if an officer is in the vicinity, but without an officer observing the incedent, we can't file a report."
me - "Is there any reason for having this number, then?" *hangup*
I don't have any mythic visions of the RPD or King Co. officers tracking down a driver even if there was video evidence of the person intentionally running over (and backing up just to be sure) a group of cyclists and joggers with baby strollers.
