Keep in mind that I handle nearly 1,000 claims a year, so when I say I see it in every area I deal in, I don't mean in every claim specifically. I just have enough volume that I can safely say that I see it happening every where. I hear some variation of an officer telling that to an involved party probably once a week. To reinforce your first point Oneguy, officers just as often tell people that the insurance companies will hash out the liability, which is true. I'm not harping on the police as it may appear as providing incorrect info doesn't generally have an effect on what I do. People do tend to believe whatever an officer says though.
