Was going through a green, got hit by a guy going through a red. All people and motorbikes are fine.

spoilerdespite me wearing shorts, tshirt, and flipflops, because I was on my way to pick up laundry.

The police drew a chalk outline of the accident, which as far as I knew was a Hollywood invention from back when they couldn't show bodies.

I guess the trope is so old some cops are like "yeah this is just what you do, I saw it on tv".

I thought they stopped after cameras got portable but I was wrong!

Turns out it adds context for investigators who have photos as well. Makes sense!
