i hate the police with a genuine vehemence, on account of their bureaucratic idiocy, petulance, casual racism, arrogance, and above all, their failure to protect the most vulnerable people in society .
i have been in a similar situation to you, rammed by a maniac in a car, very recently. despite the very useful advice given on this forum, i chose to let it go.
i cannot face dealing with the police force, really. i can't. i'd rather hope that karma or some vague cosmic system of balance ensures that the aggressor gets a nasty case of cockrot. as a generalisation, and ignoring those who perhaps are ideologically committed to upholding law and order and to protect the most vulnerable, they are a bunch of racist, mysogynistic, institutionalised fuckheads.
sorry to hear that pj. that sucks. i should have known better than to rely on our 'law enforcement' officers. when i was 21 i got into a cab and the driver tried to over charge me (£20 for going about 3 miles!) we were parked at north greenwich carpark which was derilict back then except for the tube station. it was about 11 at night. i only had a £20 note which i refused to give him and as i was about to get out of the car, the driver lunges at me and tries to pull me into the front seat. i was terrified! luckily i got out of the car and found the car park attendant who was in his little booth. i called the police from there and when they turned up, all they said to me as i was shaking and hysterical, was that this is a domestic case and look what trouble **i **got myself into over a few quid! for that and many more reasons, I agree with you about the feds, but in this case, i thought the law was quite clear cut. how wrong can you be eh??!
