I've recieved calls from people who want to report a crime and refuse to leave a name or phone number. It's not uncommon at all. People also give false names or otherwise intend to mislead.
Which is why:
It is passing strange that the "report" of a man hitting a female passenger was not verified.
Not by calling the witness back.
Not by corroborating the report.
Not by checking the 911 logs for the calling number.
Not by checking telco records for the calling number.
And, of course, no recording of the call.
All very strange, unless, of course, the call was never made and the cop who claimed to be investigating a report of domestic violence lied and made it up to support his buddy in coercing a response out of the man who refused to identify himself.
Lies for the sake of getting around probable cause requirements are common as blades of grass. There's even a word for it: "Testilying."

YOU are the ONLY one blithering this line. Not even Hiibel is agreeing with you on this one.

And, of course, no recording of the call. And of course no source for your claims therefor your claims are imaginary.

If the police recieve a call of a man hitting a female, the police are going to respond even if the caller refuses to leave a name or number. Given that information, it makes no sense that the cops first try and verify the call before actually responding to it.
