The thing was there was no police report at all, the officer was eager to take down my driver’s license information. I never signed anything. If I knew why she wanted my info I would have refused.

If the police are called to the scene of an accident, they are required by law to file a report about it. Whether or not you signed anything is irrelevant. That report is public information. Local newspapers and law offices usually monitor daily police reports. That’s how reporters find breaking news. It’s how ambulance chasers find people who might be interested in filing lawsuits.

You can go to the PD and request a copy of any police report that you want whether or not it had anything to do with you.

The police didn’t sell your information.

There is always a report. Every contact is documented. Besides, you said the cop took your statement, what did you think she was going to do with it. It sounds like a crime was commited, the person who hit you drove off so I'm sure a hit and run report was taken.
