Most traffic rules do not apply on private property so a police officer could not issue a citation. It may have a bearing on how the insurance companies settle the claims.

If a police officer hit you behind in the line of duty how do you sue?

If a police officer is involved in an accident while working and is at fault, the accident should be reported by another officer. There are no differences in the accident reports made with an officer involved in an accident. Any questions regarding a lawsuit against the officer should be asked directly to a lawyer.

Is lying to police after an accident illegal?

It depends on the accident in question. If you are referring to the typical fender bender where no one was criminally negligent (e.g. drunk or reckless driving, excessive speed, felony evading, etc) then no it's not illegal to lie to the officer. Obstruction of justice charges only apply to interfering in the investigation of a CRIME. Since traffic accidents (with the exception of those noted above) are typically civil matters, then those involved in the accident can (and typically will) lie if they feel like it will improve their chances of not being found at fault in the accident. Answer2: Lying in general is not good, why lie when the truth will do? Why lie to a police officer and then the truth gets discovered? Now you create more trouble for yourself than if you had simply come clean in the first place.
