hit and run??

[grandr29]

i hit a pedestrian not in a crosswalk, (didnt injure) him, left the scene but caught back up with him like 2-3 mintues later. He said he was ok and everything was alright. Is this still a hit and run? I saw him on the phone when coming up to him, and want to know if he could have gotten my plate number called the cops, in that time and just not told me. Could i have a warrant right now?

Oh boy. I suppose you could have a warrant, yes.

The Hit And Run squad here would be looking for you, yup.

[grandr29]

but dont you have to make a police report for them to make give out any warrants?

[grandr29]

and wouldn't the police respond to the situation?

What, did he run after you hit him, so you chased him down again??

I saw him on the phone when coming up to him,

Yet, you hit him anyway. You're an expert driver aren't you sunshine.:rolleyes:

If he didn't, he should have. Then he should have called his lawyer.

Could i have a warrant right now?

If there's a God in heaven, yes.

An accident report would be done. Reports are not required for warrants however.

Yes they would. It is likely they didn't, based on what you're saying. It appears since the person did not report it, they are out of luck at this point.

I saw him on the phone when coming up to him...

If he was calling the cops, then you will more than likely be contacted by the police very soon. In which you will be more than likely charged with leaving the scene of an accident. If their were ANY injuries (from you or the pedestrian) it would be a felony charge in North Carolina.

This was over a week ago

Your best bet would have been (and at this time still is) to call the local Police/Sheriff Dept. and tell them what happened......
Because once they have to find you, it's too late.....and you will end up in jail for Failing to report an accident and leaving the scene of an accident.

Asked and answered.

With the one-sided, empty information provided here, no more can be said.

the person , he was with another guy, was on there way to a party. When i caught up with him i asked if he was ok, he said yea and then invited me to his party. Would the police respond to the situation even if there were no injuries?

[Bearcat06]

Yes....at least in my State and I would suspect the rest of the Union as well. All motor vehicle accidents must be reported......

On his way to a party, OH, why didn't you say so before. That makes it all better and "A O K'." There's a loophole in the law that allows you to hit someone who is on their way to partake of alcohol. Especially if you saw them before you hit them. :rolleyes:
