A few years ago I was the victim of a crime and I had to file a police report (required for insurance claims, etc.).
It took me three trips, accompanied by a friend each time, one of whom is a lawyer. They basically had to strongarm the NYPD to get them to file a report.
This woman called NYPD and got told they donβt respond to these types of accidents.
Went to the precinct with video and got told to leave bc they donβt file reports for this.
Then went back a 3rd time after calling a lawyer and finally got a report.
Why does NYPD exist?
