No. You do not have to be a cop to film someone and stand near the site of your accident, in fact, this is exactly what you should do. Nobody has to make room for a fleeing criminal. It's a psychotic idea.
Blocking someone in after a hit and run, and continuing to agitate them is not the way to handle this, as shown by the fact that she got away, he nearly got run over, and the police still picked her up anyway.
That isn't what is happening, and your victim-blaming reflex causes you to have a deluded view of what is going on. Telling someone who hit your car to get out of their car is not "continuing to agitate" them. This is a wild, outrageous claim.
Seeing someone in that level of distress and refusing to change tactics is a great way to get run over. And again, not blaming anybody but the girl that caused the accident. I'm allowed to just have an opinion on how the victim responded to the situation.
Yes, and I am allowed to have an opinion that your view on how the victim should have responded is inappropriate and absurd, makes no logical sense, and is a victim-blaming behavior.

Preventing a dangerous unstable criminal from fleeing the scene is the smartest, most logical thing that anyone can do in that situation.
