Getting a police report

Posted by Mets19@reddit | budapest | View on Reddit | 19 comments

Hi! My wife and I got into an accident with a taxi which caused us to miss our flight. We called 112 and the police and paramedics responded. We need an official copy of the police report for our insurance. I've emailed and called the District 5 police station multiple times but I've had no luck getting the report. When I went to the police station they said to email them. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to get the report? I've already left Hungary at this point. The accident happened 2 weeks ago.

Thanks!

Email them the date, time, exact location of the accident, involve every information possible.

Would this be for filing reports around scams as well? Is it a generic mail address?

Sure, I guess

in case of traffic accidents, the police is legally obliged to make a so called "on-site inspection record" (= helyszíni szemle jegyzőkönyv) on the spot.

If they don't respond in a sensible time frame, then I would hire a lawyer or contact a legal aid organization, because they can walk into the police station and ask for a copy, or write to them on the official electronic administration system (epapir.gov.hu) if you give them power of attorney.

Thanks. They definitely didn't give me anything. They asked me to fill out a witness statement and that's it.

They don't give it to you on the spot

Ahh ok. Sorry I misunderstood I thought they have to give it to you on the spot.

Sometimes they start an investigation, and take a really long time. My parking car got scratched and a witness left a note with a licence number and a description of a big-mouthed blond lady who caused it. I knew the police won't find the perpetrator (owner will just lie they didn't know who drove it) but if it can be proved the damage was caused by a car the insurer or Mabisz (insurer organization) will pay for it in the end. So I filled a report and literally wrote in it that they just have to give me a paper that the car in question made the damage. Took them more than half a year.
