I wouldn't count on the cops for any of this. Check with your insurance company if the video is enough to file a claim without it being your fault. (Not sure how it works in your state) They can find the driver (or car's insurance company) and go after them.

It's not really a criminal issue, and they can get in WAY more trouble than it's worth by giving anyone's personal information to you. I know it sucks for you this week, but next week when you cut someone off in traffic and he's asking the same cop for your home address from your plate number you'll be glad it's set up this way.
