I believe they may have thier license suspended until the report is filed. Where no criminal charges are pending or will be against the girl she has no legal standing to say she wont file. She probably has someone telling her not to file because the RMV wont do anything to her. You can force that issue by calling the RMV and filing a formal complaint. I know an officer who was basically ruthless when it came to handing out tickets. He was told by his chief to layoff somewhat. When the officer refused the chief put him on the desk. The first night on the desk he took out all the crash reports and for everyone who didn't send in a report he sent them a citation, perfectly legal, if you read the law. However, he was further diciplined and all those citations he wrote went no where, and thats where I found out that local police have no authority over crash reports, only God (RMV).
