Someone mentioned the dash cam thing however in most police vehicles the cams are only activated once they initiate their lights, atleast thats how the ones I have seen have and been told by family in law enforcement so there is a easy way to tell...

NJ state trooper killed 2 sisters when he didn't have his lights on. He was found not guilty.

I hope something works out for yah but it looks totalled.
). It appears the cop was in the other lane trying to get around on the outside and then hit him in the driver's rear.Honestly if they cop didn't have his lights on, I don't see how they could say it was your fault... THAT'S WHY THEY HAVE LIGHTS.

no way could I afford it. Insurance company said they couldnt pay anything for me with the coverage I have which sucks! I know for a fact they wasnt chasing a car cause I was going north on that road and hadnt passed a car in forever, turned and started heading back south and then got hit after that. I got a lawyer which said its clearly his fault just dealing with the cops will be a pita. Hopefully I get another or mine fixed atleast!

Were you tuning on to another road? I so it should have been a no passing zone. He madea an illegal maneuver. Looking at your picture I see double lines in the center of the road. Again no passing zone. If his lights are on he may have some right to pass in a no passing zone but without them. I don't think he has a leg to stand on. Were you ticketed for a violation? If so don't pay it and go to court. Talk to your insurance. They may provide legal cousel for you.
