To Serve and Protect (Motorists)

Seeing the preposterous amount of inanity in this case, I had to reprint from Drunk Cyclist (who got it from Tucson Bike Lawyer).

Stay careful out there.

The victim has had little luck getting the police to act, even though he has the vehicle’s license number and its registered owner. But so far the driver’s insurance has failed to pay the cyclist’s medical bills and the police department is interested only in securing a conviction against the cyclist for the missing bell. They don’t seem to be bothered by the fact he was run down by a van and the motorist then fled the scene. A classic case of car-head.
The cyclist, of course, now regrets ever calling the police in the first place, telling a reporter “I can’t give you an example where the police have helped the situation in any cycling incident I know of.”

Had he/she had a bell on their bike there would not be this problem.

Had a bell been on his/her bike the problem would then have been the bell's lack of deciblage.
