just suffered a hit and run this morning, it was at a red light turning right, the person behind me bumped into my bumper. I proceeded the right turn into a near street thinking he would follow but he just took off. I got his plate number. There were very minor damages (less than 1000)to my bumper. Would the police or insurance company care about this?

Re: Victim of a hit and run
Yes they absolutely would. Failing to remain at the scene of a collision is pretty serious. You should report that to both the police and your insurance company.

I do not have a dash cam on my car. How do I prove that it's him?

You don't prove anything. You report it to the police and let them deal with it.

Re: Victim of a hit and run
I believe an officer will usually look up the plates for an owner and address. From there they make a visit and will ask some questions. Radar Identified is correct. Don't be afraid to report it and let them do the rest.
