One problem with hit and run.
Hiting someone may or may not be a crime, It could be an accident, Or both partys at fault, Or even the biker is at fault. You can decide if they need to be charged or not. It may not be a crime.
Hiting and then RUNNING, is clearly a CRIME commited by the guy who runs, Leaving the person he hit.. To die in the gutter without so much as a 'Are you allright? Can I call an ambulance for you?' If you don't want to be convicted of commiting a crime, you should not commit one! Running is 100% AVOIDABLE and can never be considered an 'accident'.
You where not 'scared' or 'chased' you where running from your legal and social responsabilitys, And that is what makes hit and RUN such a giant crime.
Not to mention all the police time then wasted on tracking you down. Taxpayer money. My money, the victums money, Everyones money!
You don't let a murderer or thief go free because he 'might lose his job', that is his problem, Not the judges, Not the victums, He thought the crime out and commited it. If he can't pay, Well then we have other ways to make him pay, Like jail time, or credit leans, or garnish his wages once he gets a new job fliping burgers, or whoever will hire him. Why would you allow any premeditated crime go unpunished?
