    LOL, the police allowed him to bear false witness. Oh btw, we have you on camera leaving the scene.

    Hot take, failure to stop and render aid is a BS law. You should absolutely still stop and help if its safe, but I do not think it should be mandated by law.
    Also, why didn't they nail him on hit and run?

    If you are just a passerby, then yeah, it's BS. If you're the one who injured people, then no, it's not BS.

    Should have been charged with hit and run of pedestrians. Sounds like he’s friends with the police chief or prosecutor.

    Oh, it goes deeper than that. The Toyota driver is actually Matthew Perry of the hit tv show Friends.
