Yes J9 , when I was on the force, it was "suggested" we ticket who we felt were at fault, but most police officers don't actually even go to classes on accident investigation, I did but 80 percent of the officers who write the tickets or do the reports only had one or two days of accident report writing and investigation while in the academy. They may have been several years ago for many, and older officers may not have had any at their schools.

So many of my fellow officers did not want to stick around ( and often we may not have had time to stick around) for 30 min to a hour that it requires to properly do a simple accident, plus if we write tickets we have to appear ( normally on our time off) in court to testify.
