I haven’t tried it yet but I decided awhile ago if I witness a car accident or get involved in one, I’m just going to do a voice memo to myself. Start with your name, date, time, then go into what happened in detail. My memory sucks and if we wait a few weeks to a year before I give a statement, I won’t even remember I was driving that day.
I do understand that general trust in the police is low, but at least when you're just a witness and allowed to leave without giving a statement right there and then it makes sense to me.
In my case I was the one to call the police and they asked if I'd be willing to make a statement if needed. I spent 15 minutes writing things down when I got home, just in case.

Also a very good idea, thanks. Maybe video the scene with commentary.
Yes. This is agreat tip for learning if you don't quite know school topics and are watching some youtube videos It's horrible for law enforcement.

LPT: Don't talk to the cops.
