(40,406 posts)Otherwise, get out of the way and don't make the situation worse. They got the license plate, they called the police, done. Sometimes expressing a little scorn is appropriate, but standing in front of a car is like standing in front of a gun. You don't know what the stranger with the gun or car is going to do, or why they are going to do it. The stranger in SUV could be a most wanted murderer, and one more victim -you- won't matter.
I've confronted many people previously in my work (teaching in the big city was the worst...) but now it's mostly kids painting graffiti on my back wall, smoking weed, or cutting class to make out. But I'm not going to let any of these confrontations go violent and there are only a few things I'll call the police about.
If I called the police about everything I'm sure the police would start to ignore me. Our police pretty much have to ignore people anyways because they are so understaffed. They don't go out of their way for the small stuff.
