re: Have you ever called in a tip to crime stoppers?

As Ive said MANY times, I haven’t had one. For the record, reporting a DD on the street is the right thing to do, but there is something that’s weak about a valet doing it. Kinda along the lines of a bartender doing it.

Ahhh, the good ole “if you’re over the limit and drive home, it’s a lock you kill 4 people, 8 dogs and 12 mailboxes”. 99.6% of all dwi tickets are non fatal.

And btw, I doubt a valet can get someone a free room.

Some dude on the political talk board started a thread about how he called the ICE Hotline because there was a construction site next to his work that had brown people working there. No other basis to his suspicion. He was really proud of himself too.

I will completely agree with you if someone is obviously drunk, you “probably” even have a legal obligation to NOT give them their keys…just like a bartender. I am not an attorney, but I would think the valet/bartender/hotel would be responsible for not allowing a person to drive. I think it’s bad to give them their keys take their tip, then call the cops.

No! But when I was in the Navy I was driving from Louisiana to South Carolina. That was before the Interstate highway system, and Highway 80, went through the middle of most towns on the route. While driving through a small town in Alabama, speed limit about 35 MPH, I came upon a man in a pickup turning around in the middle of the road. He was obviously intoxicated, beyond knowing how to turn his steering wheel. He drove up to the curb, then back up. He did this several times before he finally got it right and proceeded to drive through town. I followed him a ways and spotted a police car at a diner. I stopped and told policeman what I had witnessed. He and his buddy ran to their car and sped out of town. I got back into my car, drove out of town and soon met the cop coming back with the drunk driver in the car.

yes, guy I know had 2 bricks of coke in his car and I knew he had one stashed in his apartment. Waited till he took off and while he was getting arrested broke into his apartment and stole the 3rd brick.

That was a good couple months in Nov. 1986 until the Pats met the Bears in the superbowl.

I called and reported a couple guys were going to meet behind Sonic and that I didn't think it was for their new smash burger. Officer told me it happens all the time

No, but I’ve called animal control on my neighbors who let their dogs wander the neighborhood. I wish they would give a reward though

I called America’s most wanted when I was a kid. To report what I thought was a murder suspect( my teacher) … Long story short…I was wrong.
