I can sort of understand it...but when I was visiting Philadelphia andmy car was broken into, the police took that report over the phone, or when I lived in Virginia and was calling to report gang-related graffitti in my apartment building, they took a report over the phone (an officer later stopped by to follow up with me, when they came to photograph it, but the intitial report was taken over the phone.) So I know that there are times when the police take reports over the phone, certainly.
It's honestly not the police refusing to take the report over the phone that bothers me...I can absolutely understand that. But since obviously the D.A. is dealing with this, and has a proceedure, one would think that any of the several officers I spoke with might have been able to give me that information. It would have saved me a great deal of frustration.
