That's the way it goes down when the state, a political subdivision, or municipality is involved.

When a friend got hit by a city vehicle, there must have been 82 people out there taking video, pictures, and collecting evidence.

They are covering their arse; you should cover yours.

So what does that mean? I'm not a sue happy individual looking to take advantage. I just want them to pay for a new bumper.

The City of Atlanta sent me to that site, back in March. Actually, they gave me a choice: I could drive over to Atlanta and retrieve it from the desk sergeant at the precinct where the patrolman was assigned, once it was ready, or we could download an electronic copy.

To be honest, if Atlanta wasn't 3.5 hrs away, I'd have gone back. The lady officer that responded was hot. Even my wife said so.

I'd guess for things like vehicles they have insurance or maybe some self insured mechanism. But for some claims against the state you actually have to get the state legislature to fund a judgment even after you get one against them.

And against places like the City of New Orleans - good luck.
