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.
