Are police reports filed anonymously?

In other fields, having an engineer's signature (or the lack of) means something, legally speaking. Good luck getting any kind of insurance on a new construction that wasn't inspected or built by someone licensed.

Don't the engineers in this situation have more decision making powers than developers in your typical corporate environment? In my opinion, more power would need to be given to developers before they could be held accountable in the same way as engineers on bridges or buildings.
