Police Questioning Specifics
Location: NJ, USA
Earlier this week someone backed into my house and then fled the scene. It was the middle of the night so when I jumped out of bed I got a brief look at the vehicle. When police arrived I described it as a "small silver sedan, possibly Nissan Sentra, with a license plate number starting with 'G6'." They never found the car that night.
Fast forward to this morning, I'm driving into work and I see a small silver Nissan Versa with a license plate number of G8XXXX and damage on the rear end of the vehicle. I was able to get behind them and snap a picture. This sighting was on Main Street of our town which is less than 2 square miles.
This information along with Ring camera footage of a neighbor down the street which caught them driving away from my house (very grainy) were all sent to the SGT on the case this morning. The SGT crossed the plate number and confirmed they are a resident of our town, but this evidence alone is not enough to go ask them questions. How is that the case? How much evidence is needed in order to ask someone questions about a hit and run when details are a bit scarce or fuzzy? Can't he just go ask questions and if they divulge info great for us, but they could refuse, well, smart on them?
Other notes: no car debris evidence left at the scene. No other witnesses were present.
