Regardless of the law... This was up to the cops discretion. The cop was power tripping and being a total dick. He could have waited for you to shift out of park or start rolling away. He probably gets a bonus for saving the world from dangerous vehicular air conditioning though.
This is why cops are worthless.
BS!...I don't think the cops do enough to get the drunks off the road! This is a high-powered alcohol consumption nation with so many people driving intoxicated or impaired (some states are worst than others of course).
My family and I were rear-ended a few years ago on Labor Day afternoon by a drunk who left the scene but was later apprehended and arrested. Though we sustained minor injuries (I driving a big van) it could have been much worst.
The OP here is looking for sympathy & support - how do we know if his story is even true? He could have actually been driving or maybe passed out while stopped at an intersection. Unless he wants to post his identity and the police report with the full details, I don't know how much of this story is accurate.
Alcohol-related crashes are huge problem in this country. The cops need to do more to get the drunks off the road!

Just like that!...3 children gone! ?
