Leaving The Scene Case Dropped

While waiting for a red light to turn green, our client rolled forward, tapping the car in front.  Our client and the other driver exited their vehicles and examined the “damage,” then went on their respective ways.  Later, the other driver called law enforcement claiming that our client left the scene of the accident without fulfilling the statutory requirements of exchanging information, etc.  The investigating officer found that there was $25 in damage to the bumper and charged our client with the hit and run crime.  Thankfully, a traffic camera caught the entire incident.  After pointing this out to the State, charges against our client were dropped outright.
