"Big City" Cleveland, will not send officers to a traffic accident unless one of the cars can't be driven or someone is seriously injured and needs an ambulance, otherwise you must go to the precinct and file your report. Last accident was $6,000 worth of damage to my van, but I could still drive it so...
If the cop didn't want to take a report from the auto either, I would go to the station and file one anyway, I would feel the same as you and even if I wasn't hurt I would want it to be a matter of record that could down the road show a patern on the part of the offender.
