What should I do??? Advice needed
« on: 05 December 2007, 08:13:01 »
I know a Police man that drinks and drives. Should I shop him? If I do, can anything be done without him actually being caught-in-the-act? He doesn't actually live near me, but his ex does and he keeps getting drunk, getting in to his car and driving over to see her...which is 200 yards from where I live.

Over to you guys...

Paul.

Think I would, but anonymously, can't see em taking it seriously though  >:(

Maybe let all his tyres down, note on the windscreen advising not to attempt drink driving again or there will be repurcussions ;)

i personally would report him but just do it as a drink driver don't mention that he's a copper. just say there is a guy that is drunk just getting into his car!

they should turn up pretty quick.

You have to do it.

As the others have said, report him as a general person drinking and driving.

Imagine how you will feel if you don't then one evening he comes round and kills a child in an accident...

Right then...that was pretty much what I was expecting.

I'll give them a call today.

The copper in question was made a bit famous a few months ago (not on purpose), so I expect it might hit the newspapers if he is caught. I'm not going to say who it is though.

Done. I was put through to his station and spoke to his Super.

I'll just wait to see if there will be any response now.

Well done, least you won't have any worries that you could have done more.
Did they know it was you, or anonymous?

Don't report him as a police officer - report him as a citizen.

Going to his boss may have no (or negative) results!

Was just going to say.. Perfect opportunity for it to be "dealt with" under the radar.

If it doesn't get sorted, make an anonymous call giving the reg. no. and location. If they pull him it'll be less easy to brush under the carpet.

Hope it goes ok (and you don't start getting pulled for no real reason)
