I've told this story before. A friend of mine (a pharmacist), was t-boned by a cop on the way home from work late one night (24-hour pharmacy). He had a green light and the cop went through a red light anyway.

Police report says cop had his lights and sirens on (he did not) and friend was cited for failure to yield. It also contains a very convoluted sequence of events that has my friend hitting the cop car and the cars spinning around so that the cop car t-boned him. In reality, the cars pretty much stopped where they hit and there was no damage to the front of my friend's car. The police department sent his insurance company a bill for the damage to the cop car.

His insurance company eventually got a hold of the tape from the cop car after several months. It shows the cop driving, then the video goes blank (black screen) for the duration of the accident, then resumes after the accident has happened. It shows nothing.

The insurance company realized what was going on, but refused to go after the cop or the police department that was covering for him.
