ok dudes here's the story....
i was walking across the street with my gf and my friend and there was a group of people crossing the street ahead of us...lets say around 8-10 feet in front of us. then, an expedition making a left turn thrusts her way right between the first crossing group and us. in order for me not to collide with her, i stuck my hand out and touched her car. (my arm was not fully extended..that's how close she was to runing us over)
i was mad but thought nothing of it and kept walking with my friends. an few stores down we passed by the restaurant we ate at an hour earlier and we stopped inside because i needed to use the restroom. when i came out of the restroom, my friends were sitting there and out of nowhere a lady comes straight at me saying (the language is not made up) "you gunna pay fo the scratch on my M*tha f*ckin car...it's an expedition and u gunna pay for it" i was like scared and shocked....this whole time she was SCREAMIN at the top of her lungs and the whole restaurant was looking at us. the she says "i'm gunna call the M*tha F*CKIN po'lice and u gunna pay fo dis sh*t".
she goes outside to call the cops and her 2 daughter....age 10-12 or so, are making sure i dont go anywhere. i was stupid in trying to talk to them cause when i did, the girl stands up with her hand flailing in the air saying "git outta my face...git out of my face" the she took her finger and poked at my head violently. then i said "i'm not in your face" then poked her head. then this 10-12 year old girl socks me in the face and i turned around and stuck my hand out to stop her. meanwhile, her sister goes outside and calls her mom.
that's when the drama begins.....the lady comes in yelling "you hit my baby" blah blah blah...again yelling in a crowded restaurant. at this point, the bus boys are all getting up on her to drag her out of the restaurant. thats when the cops walk in. 4 cops (what a big waste of tax dollars) finally get the stories from all the restaurant patron who are on my side and they figure out that it is not my fault.
the thing is, the lady said i scratched her car. so the officer asks me..."where did you touch the car" at this point, i dont know if there was a scratch on her car...so my friend says "he touched the car near the back window to brace himself from getting hit" then i remembered that the car was dirty and i had dust on my fingertips. so i said to the cops "go and check the back window" sure enough when he comes back, he chuckles and says "you were right, there was a hand print where you said it would be and the scratch she claims u did is no where near it". at this point, the cops are on my side, the patrons are on my side, and the restaurant mangement is on my side.
i had 2 options....press charges or dont. i didnt want to start more drama so i said forget it. then the cops tell me that the lady want to press charges on me for "hitting her daughter". at this point the cops tell me that if they do, i should press charges as well and becuase the police report is in my favor, i would be immediately let go.
well, no charges were press but the lady did tell the cops that she was gunna have her insurance company try and collect money from me to pay for the scratch i supposedly did.
my fear at this point is that since i gave my personal info to the cops and since it is on the police report, can this lady find out my home address and stuff????
this lady thinks i hit her daughter and i think she will stop at nothing to get back at me. i may be REALLY paranoid but is it something i should worry about? i am sh*tting bricks!!
HELP!!! to all of you knowledgeable law people.....also, can she get my info from the insurance company?
thanks for listening to all of this!!
