Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Do you call 911 when you see a drunk weaving on the road

I followed a skanky gal and her burnout beau for about 7 miles one morning. She was driving. 30s somethings had the meth/biker/live with grandma look about them.

white line to white line, worst I’d ever seen doing about 20-25 mph in a 50. I was on phone with 911 gave em details, plate numbers, they gave me a run around why did I *67 when I called, who was I, what was my number, etc.

They pulled into a hajjii raghead gas station. I walked up to them sitting in the car and asked was they alright. Easy Rider in the passenger seat eyes blood shot, he says “yeh man its all good she is a diabetic”

Pffft

Both smelled like 3 days of Jim Beam.

I told dispatch they were parked at such and such gas station. I filled up with gas, hung out for for about 10 mins. They drove off and continued on down another way from where I was going. Inwas headed to WORK to go lay their bills. Deputies never showed. About 15 mins had elapsed total and they couldnt get on em.

The beetus will get a person every time.

I sure as hell do. I’ve had wrong way drivers pass by me twice on the freeway. Both times they passed directly next to me in the next lane over. The first time it happened it was a car coming down the carpool transition ramp from another freeway onto I-10.

That happens a lot here for some reason. They are almost always piss drunk but I do remember an old lady did it in the middle of the day (friend I worked with ended up with the insurance claim). She was just really old and took too many percocets for her hip or something.

Last time I called one in was a crazy methed out twitchy younger woman driving like a complete idiot nearly rear ending people and passing on the shoulder. At one point she was just driving on the shoulder thinking it was a lane. That might be par for the course in Reno though. I was driving through.

Not my style, not my business. Steer clear. Get where I’m going. Chips fall where they may.

*HP....


is our highway patro.......I've called it few times to report wreckless driving....

Wreckless driving triggers the chit out of me.

So you have no input, just looking for a reaction to your ignorant post! GFY

Prolly my #1 trigger.

That's for short spurs !!!

Lol

Have you ever heard of a PHUUCKING JOKE?

How many people have you arrested for DUI? I would bet my number is higher.........

We were once in the far right lane of a 4 lane highway (2 lanes each direction). A car drove at us in our lane. I flashed my lights at him but he kept coming and we had to go onto the shoulder to let him by. I turned around and followed him from the correct side of the road while he continued driving into oncoming traffic. I called 911 as we followed him to a gas station where he parked but didn't leave his car. The 911 operator asks us to stick by until an officer arrived. 2 cops arrive, get him out of his car, and he is a full out gangster with head tattoos, tear drops in the corners of his eyes, etc. He gets the sobriety test and fails and is hauled off. The cops gathered my contact information and took a statement from me. We went on our way thinking we had done a good deed and possibly saved someone from an accident at the hands of a drunken driver. A few months later I get a call from the prosecutor asking if I would be willing to testify in court about his driving. He ended up pleading no contest and I didn't have to go to court. However, the lesson I learned along the way from talking to the prosecutor, because he felt compelled to warn me, was that the defendant has a right to all data related to his charges. He and his defense attorney were provided the entirety of the police report information. This included my name, address, and phone number. Nothing bad came of it but we were terrified for months. It's sad, but I would no longer call the police for any minor crimes including a DWI as I have to consider the safety of my family first.

Average about once every month or two. Not just drunks, but also other things.

Sure wish someone would have snitched on the a-hole that killed my dad and put my mom and seven year old sister in the hospital for months.

Do you consider the two issues equal?

We'll agree to disagree. If the issue at hand is unsafe drivers, then that brings in the texters, eaters, blue hairs, and folks unaccustomed to snow/sleet/ice. As evidenced by my reference to the Hubert thread.

If somebody wants to tug heartstrings and emote about alcohol impaired drivers then they need to admit they are cherry picking and not being honest.

Some people have a knack for comedy. You obviously don’t.
I am not and never have been LEO.
Doofus. 😁

I absolutely do. It is not snitching. It is reporting a crime. Most people have little chance of being killed by criminals if they aren't involved in criminal activity themselves and they are selective in their choice of bed partners. The biggest exception pertains to impaired driving, where the person minding their own business and being careful gets killed or seriously injured without warning. As far as Gruff's comment is concerned, I don't attempt to investigate and ascertain the reason why someone appears to be impaired. If someone looks like they are driving in a manner that could kill someone, I call it in. I don't usually tail people after calling it in because I don't want to be involved in the collision.

It was a joke. Sorry I joked around, I apologize for not being somber and a Debbie downer about anything/everything.

I have literally arrested people for driving under the influence of alcohol and drugs.

I'll be super serial from now on.

Oh so I guess taking drunks off the road isn't that big of a deal to you then?

Did once never again.
