UPDATE II: An hour after this post, the city fabricated a record to provide instead of the accident report. See it and a real accident report here.
GREENSBORO, NC -- The Greensboro Police reported via press release a vehicle/pedestrian accident occurring on June 8th on Bryan Boulevard. According to the press release, the pedestrian was taken to the hospital where he died from his injuries. From the press release:
"On June 8, 2014, at 3:45 p.m., Officers responded to the Joseph M Bryan Boulevard and Brassfield Road in reference to a traffic accident. A collision occurred between an Acura sports utility vehicle and a pedestrian."Usually, accident reports are posted online within hours and, indeed, there are several reports from other accidents just before and after the Bryan Boulevard collision posted online. There is, however, no accident report online for this collision, as you can see:
I formally requested the accident report from the City of Greensboro Monday night (which they acknowledged Tuesday morning), but I still have not received it.
Authorities will often withhold the identities of the deceased pending notification of the next of kin but the city has not said that is what is happening here nor, if that is the case, is it a reason for withholding the entire accident report.
I would love to know GPD criteria for deciding when and if info is posted to P2C and when it isn't. For example: According to Guilford Metro 911, someone called GPD to Jeff Martin's home on May 22, 2014. Police were dispatched at 21:54:33 (9:54 PM) and finally cleared the scene on May 23 at 04:03:29 (4:03 AM).

But P2C has no record of that same call, no arrests, no incidents, no accidents-- why?
Are some people capable of manipulating the system to their own or someone else's advantage?
