At last,they've finally caught him!

[rumpelstiltskin]

After 13,yes thirteen calls to my local police force(2 miles away)about a drink driver they finally got him.This guy is a regular drink driver and drives so drunk he is unable to walk.He must have been (so i thought)one of the easiest people to catch as he always left the same street,for the same amount of time,at roughly the same time of the night,i don't know what took them so long?He would go to the pub,get a call on his mobile and he would be out delivering drugs all night.I actually gave up for a long period of time calling the police cause i just didn't think they were interested.So,to cut a long story short this guy has made our lives a misery for years,his house has been busted by the drug squad,drugs were taken away,and this time that he was caught drink driving he had drugs on him,how long or how bad will thing s be for him?I reckon he would have had about 7 pints for the time he was out and the way he was staggering.I've never shopped anyone in my life but this was a prime candidate for killing someone,pissed out of his head and driving every weekend,the time the police took to do this worried me as i really thought i was going to hear he had killed someone and i had tried to do something with no help from the police,i couldn't have lived with this.

Nice one. Glad to hear someone of genuine risk has been caught before an accident happened.

You are a star.

If everyone took aleaf out of your book and kept nagging the coppers, the roads would be much safer.

Good info
and good result.
from the other side of "they do nothing about it" fence.
I like nothing better than catching drivers over the limit. And so do 100% of my colleagues.
Rest assured they weren't sat around eating doughnuts as inferred, probably going from job to job, Not your problem I know as you expected an immediate response to a potentially life threatening incident (understandably).
From my side, I appreciate information like you have given, and it would have been nice to catch him first time. The problem however, is not the boys (and girls) at the sharp end.
Regards,
Mike

hopefully the CPS will be able to do this job correctly now and bang him away for a long time. But I suspect in this politically mad world we now seem to be in the CPS will send him to the Betty Ford clinic or the Priory to be helped with his problem. A team of legal aid lawyers will be sceaming entrapmnent and it will turn out it was not his fault because he was roggered by a preist in his formative years who smelt of drink. Meanwhile you will get a caution for harrasment because you phoned the police several times

Nice one.

I salute you.
I too love locking up DIC's but it's not always possible and the way the job's run doesn't help.
Police were probably busy taking crime reports when you called before, for people who didn't want to report a crime but Blunkett made them.
