I honestly wAnder if people who are caught BSing are getting charged with fraud offenses.
Couple weeks ago a co-worker of mine was in his car waiting behind another driver to turn out of a driveway, onto a main road. The driver in front was slightly protruding onto the road, so she backed up and hit his front bumper, causing a fair amount of damage. She told icbc that he moved forward and hit her. They almost gave her the benefit of the doubt, but lo and behold, a security cam across the street was pointed directly at this intersection. Caught it clear as day.
I wonder if she'll be charged with fraud. Or if the only repercussion is the at-fault.
He had to source and retrieve the footage, btw. I don't think iCBC even attempted to find any.
