It would be a waste of the state’s resources to try the peculiar hitchhiker absent the cooperation of the one who gave him the ride.

Any compensation for damages is between the two parties.

In other words, if the victim doesn’t care, it is not an issue for us. As has been mentioned elsewhere, it is good he picked such a forgiving person for his ride. Others might have been afraid or irritated enough to harm him.

The “victim” isn’t cooperating bc they weren’t in the right either. They weren’t justified in their actions and they know it.

The drop charge makes me wonder…did the victim get doxxed, threatened or harrassed?

The victim isn’t cooperating. This means the victim is either failing to attend a deposition or refuses to testify. This isn’t on the state attorney’s office; this is on the driver of the vehicle. If the driver is too gutless to stand up for justice then good for him having to pay for his own damaged mirror.

Maybe the victim doesn’t want any repercussions from who some of the protesters really are? They have some major power behind them and could cause him plenty of grief!

So if I go rob a store, caught on video, and the store owner (cashier) doesn’t “cooperate or communicate with this office during our investigation” I go free??????

If the victim was not cooperating sounds like winess tampering, probably threaten if they testafied. State can pick up the charges from the video they do it many times when a burglary is investigated. If they don’t hold those accountable for their crimes it a slap in the face for those who truly peaceful protest without violence or stand in streets.

“Insufficicient evidence”? Exhibits 1-4 above are evidence enough. He should have been charged with carjacking.

I will gladly drive this person across the bridge on the hood of my vehicle if he dares to jump in front of my vehicle. Anytime he wants.
