this all seems way out of wack. There should have been what they call an exchange of information form or short form or some kind of amicable exchange between you the officer and the other party.

This sounds like some hazzard county bullshit to me. The officer should have overseen the total exchange of information and the fact that fault was not established and copies of the paperwork not given to all parties sounds shady at best.

Not looking good so far.
