If it weren’t for my dash cam I would have been at fault, driver and witness said I ran a red.

Just proves that either 1) people will lie to get out of anything and/or 2) eyewitness accounts, especially of fast-moving events, are unreliable. The video never lies

Literally just in a crash yesterday. Idiot took a left turn right into us. (If I had it on video it would have been here). And then fucking tried to argue with the cop and change the whole story and everything.
Edit: I should clarify we were going straight on a highway.

That's really a lot less true than it used to be

Think about it from a witness perspective. You hear a loud crash, look up, and the lights have all changed by now. So they were probably telling the truth from their perspective, but things had changed in 3 seconds.

3 people involved there will be 4 stories. 1 for each person and then the truth.

Psychologists will tell you eye witness accounts can be fucked
I remember a lesson from one of my classes. A student came in, made a big scene, threatened the professor before leaving. Professor had us all right down our accounts for the police report he would be filing. Then he called in the student and read everything we wrote out loud. Literally everything about that student changed based on who you asked. Hair color, jacket color, shoes, sandals, etc

There is a passage in one of the Dresden Files about this kind of thing. I was going to copy/paste it but it's quite a bit longer than I remember so I'll just leave this:

In legal cases, they never use the eye witness account in the court due to it being so unreliable

Like in that movie Rising Sun with Sean Connery and Wesley Snipes

Fucking hell. Are you okay? The other driver was clearly at fault.

Was taken to hospital with only minor injuries, just couldn’t believe when the police told me that he had said he had a green and a witness agreed

Moral of this story and most other accidents. Get a dash cam. C.Y.A.
