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.

Actually in most states, this is a criminal issue. Leaving the scene of an accident, and failure to provide information are both criminal offenses, some states punishable by jail time.
