Cheating death and fighting communism: that is how a fellow officer once described our job. It was meant to be funny, but as time went on it seemed all too true.
I spent more than ten years in law enforcement, all of it on the street in uniform patrol. I've been a patrol officer, instructor, sergeant and lieutenant.
Do not report crimes here. Nothing here should be considered legal advice. All opinions are my own.
You can ask, but don't expect to get a positive reaction.

Getting shot. Getting stabbed. Getting broken bones. Getting killed in an accident. Being strangled. Acquiring incurable diseases. Dealing with rotting bodies. Telling people that their loved one has been killed. Horrible hours. Working weekends. Working holidays. Dealing with defense attorneys and other scum. Low wages. Poor opportunity for advancement. Getting sued. Being rained on. Being snowed on. Working in a hurricane while all sane people have long since fled. Wrestling drunks in the mud. Dealing with unrealistic expecations of the public. Dealing with the unrealistic expectations of pencil pushers in city hall. Stress and related health problems. Chronic back problems from wearing a duty belt. Not being able to have normal relationships with non-cops. Hyper vigilance. Not being around for your family. Did I mention rotting bodies? Polyester uniforms. People throwing feces and urine on you. Being spit on. Fighting for your life as a regular job function. Dealing with other people's children. Going to the funerals of your friends.

Since I was not there, nor did I conduct an investigation in the incident, I don't know what the probable cause was for your charge.
However, I suspect it might have something to do with your statement "and I began to follow her."
Getting angry about some perceived slight while driving, and then chasing the woman, is likely the source of your problems.

What types of crowds are the worst for you to to perform for?
Your information and the details of the contact are probably stored in the local department's database. If they are networked with other agencies, they all departments in that network would have access to the information as well.
If you were not charged with a crime, then the information would not be in a national criminal database.

yes

I don't know if you should. You can certainly call the police and talk to them about your circumstances.
