If somebody did the same to you, would you take it as far as calling the police. Unless it's a just happens to be a police officer's Altima, it's probably a safe bet to try it out.
If they actually pushed it further(not going to happen) since they aren't the guilty party, you just say you made a mistake since it was a silver Altima that was on video and still
walk away.
They might have a little difficulty(really difficult to prove in reality) proving you said what they say you did.
Tcoat says they'll attack here which is doubtful but the point is not just rolling over and having your own insurance pay for it. Whether it's lie and say you know they did it or just try to
coerce a guilty admission, it is better than letting them get away with it if you are pretty sure it was them. If you are a little frail dude and the Altima owner is a 6'6" biker maybe don't try my method...

LOL that will be a first. Not many people in NJ carrying a gun at all. Probably like about 0.0001% since conceal carry is
practically illegal there. Currently 1212 people are licensed to carry in the whole State.If they are illegally carrying, them pulling a gun out because you said they hit your car are slim to none and more on the side of none. Like I said, if they are some huge hulking dude, maybe that method isn't best if OP doesn't think he can defend a surprise attack.
If it was me the only way I'm rolling over here is if the Altima owner is some massive crazy looking dude that looks like he has nothing to live for. And even then I'd still take the "maybe you hit my car" approach.

Edit: Just figured it out and it it really is .00013618% of the population in NJ that is legally concealed carrying. Good guess.
