Someone whose wrongness is as plain to see as an open fly when you exhibit the exact same gutless response as cops do to personal lawbreaking - expect your pals to look the other way. If there's a more basic tell of a cop mentality, I don't know what it could be.
Whoa. Burn.

In my experience I have always just talked the person out of driving. If they were a friend I wouldn't call it in. If it were somebody random, I might, but I would confront them first. And I would feel like a rat if I didn't tell them I would be calling the cops before I did.

The action itself is not crap, but I don't think you went about it quite the right way DFTR.

Ringo did what he thought was right. He was trying to HELP those guys. I never involve the cops in shit. And you know what, I'm a selfish, irresponsible, douche bag. Ringo had the balls to take it on the chin in the minds of his friends in order to prevent people from flying through a windshield or killing a kid or some guy walking home from work. We're not talking about guys who were slightly buzzed. From his account, they were unable to operate a fucking thing.

I also agree w/Marsupialized. C'mon...two beers...a coupla beers with dinner? A police state we must not accept.

I hear ya man. It was the right move to make, but before calling the pigs I would have laid it all out on the table:

"You guys are grown men, I'm not your father, you are going to decide whether or not you're going to drive home tonight, not me. But I'm not going to sleep tonight--I'll never forgive myself if something happened to you guys--if I know I didn't do everything I could have to stop you. That includes calling the cops if you decide to drive home."

Fuck drunk drivers. Fuck people who passively support drunk driving. Fuck your uncle if he has a "few beers" and then drives home. Fuck your friend driving home hammered after a gig. Fuck my own friends and family who do this - and they do - and fuck my hypocrisy for not stopping them by either calling the police on them or by dragging them out of their car by the hair.

If you are going to drive drunk - something which is stupidly easy to avoid doing - fuck you, and excuse me if my heart doesn't bleed when you have your license taken off you. Boo hoo.

I think I am going to invest in a 20" length of lead pipe, so from now on when I try to talk people out of driving, and they are too wall-eyed drunk to do more than mutter, grunt and push their way past me, I am just going to let them have it with the pipe. Right to the back of the head. Fuck, they don't seem to remember me trying to stop them from driving without the head injury. A good, sharp blow to the skull should pretty much erase the entire evening, doncha think?

"What happened to you?"
