The really crazy thing is that this is just reported car crashes. The NYPD has largely stopped responding to crashes without injuries so the real number is probably higher.

    Those cops broke city policy, probably in order to comply with unofficial precinct policy. Giuliani instituted a city-wide crime statistics system in 1994 called CompStat with the stated goal of making crime statistics public and accountable, but the real purpose is allowing police the final and only say over what crimes do or don’t make it into official records so that they can support any crime narrative they’d like (Or just be selectively lazy and get away with it).
