Insurance company advocates, citizens, insured motorists, and non-metro officials alike are very skeptical on how this can possibly be a positive maneuver on Metro's part. When I myself think of the unintended consequences of such a policy change, my mind races a million miles an hour. Will road rage incidents spiral out of control more easily? Will insurance rates go up on good drivers exponentially? Will innocent drivers be hammered with injustice during car accidents they were not responsible for? Metro takes DUI drivers off the street when they're involved in these types of collisions. Will they get by this unscathed while the good citizens of southern Nevada suffer? How much of this policy change is due to spite over the failure of all those tax-hike proposals to hire more cops? What are your thoughts on this?
According to numerous Las Vegas news outlets, LVMPD (The Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department) is changing its policy regarding responses to vehicle collisions in its jurisdiction. No longer will police show up unless there are injuries or criminal behavior (i.e. hit-and-run scenarios, etc.). Metro naturally cites too much manpower and hours being budgeted in responding to these occurrences.

The male driver of a 2010 or 2011 Honda Accord is wanted in the attempted murder of an elderly man at a Las Vegas gas station. On February 6th, witnesses report a back and forth argument between the suspect and the victim at a service station near Flamingo and Jones in Las Vegas.
The shocking video has been published to the internet by Las Vegas police. surveillance video from the gas station does show the Accord accelerating toward the victim and then stopping within inches of him. After what appears to be an extremely brief exchange, the car then moves forward quickly, running over the man's lower section. He is then on the ground for many minutes after, writhing in pain. The victim was transported to the hospital and listed with serious injuries. Witnesses identify the perpetrator as a white man in his 30s, and gave only partial description of the California license plate number. The suspect was seen wearing a gray, hooded sweatshirt. The case is being investigated and treated as an attempted murder case. Here at A Hope Bail Bonds, when we say you can bail someone out of jail over the telephone, we actually mean it.
