Where I live, the concerned party can submit a report directly and the police are obligated to file it if it relates to a road incident. It’s classified as minor or significant, the police only make an appearance if it’s significant. But the report is taken nonetheless.

Thanks. Fuck you too I guess.
Yeah but the account says 2007 in the name (because people like putting their year of birth in their account names for some reason), which would make the kid ~12 at the time the video was uploaded and 18 today.
If they had an existing ding on their car from smacking into a guard rail or opening their door into a post.
Reading comprehension.
The defense can make that case to have the evidence deemed inadmissable. But it comes to the decision of a judge, who may not be inclined to care when there’s already a written confession.
There’s minimal police work here, it’d be a civil suit. At most the police will verify claims and take a report of an incident, but there’s no investigating beyond what each party brings to the table themselves.
It’s not “I say so,” it’s “He said so.”
By what standard? If the prosecution obtains evidence and the irrelevant sections of the recording are later discarded by the third party, it’s as admissable as anything else.
I think you might not know how litigious Americans are, and how little evidence is really required to bring in a civil trial to present to judges who just couldn’t care less.
It doesn’t take much to make a case against someone in an unfair system.
They confessed. Unless there’s verifiable evidence that the damage was pre-existing, there is a case to be made.
In the US at least, this is in civil court, so there’s no “beyond reasonable doubt” expectation when making a judgment. Person A claims someone damaged their car, presents evidence of damage, a confession, and a visual connection to the confession and Person B.
