Is it?
If I follow a drunk slowly until he gets off the highway so that nobody will run into him- then wish him the best and carry on with my merry way- he and his family are better off for it.
Law enforcement in the U.S. is like a box jellyfish. It's a damn shitty thing to provoke contact for somebody unless there's an immediate reason to do so. Most drunks are no worse than the phone-addled. You're putting a man's job, health, and finances at risk by snitching on him.
Do that if you want- I'm told that it's a free country. But I won't do it unless somebody's life is truly and immediately at risk. Vast majority of the time that's not the case.
Seriously? The guy is swerving all over the road, and fortunately, nobody got hurt. He deserves what he night have gotten. Nobody got hurt, in this instance. What about next time? What if the driver of the truck was a diabetic, and approaching diabetic shock? Police response would be appropriate to determine the reality. If the guys was actually diabetic, how is his family served by him killing someone when he's impaired thus?
If you get to thinking you’re a person of some influence, try ordering somebody else’s dog around.
