Sorry, but you simply don't understand how these things can work. You are not a lawyer. I am.
The operative phrase in your quote above from the law is (emphasis added):
Quote:

If there is a dispute about whether "any of the following apply" that will be tested and resolved as part of the civil suit.

Swell. Of course if the guy you're suing has no money, which is likely, you'll get nothing even if you win.

No. A police report is mere hearsay and can't be used as evidence for such a purpose.
