Committed Hit And Run, Regret It
I was parking in a tight spot and ended up scratching someone's car. I panicked and left, but about 10 minutes later I regretted fleeing. I drove back but the car was already gone. A store there has a camera pointed where it all happened, not sure if they actually have it recording and if my plate got caught clearly on it. My biggest concern is police contacting my parents, (the car is under their name) going to court, and getting a misdemeanor or worse on my criminal record. I talked to a few lawyers and they said likelihood of them seeking legal action/me getting caught is purely speculative and I should remain silent if police do contact me. They also said it's likely I pay for damages and avoid the misdemeanor because I'm young and this is a first time offense.
Should I confess to the police or wait to see if that person ever takes legal action? Does me going back to find the owner have any value in court?
