I need to know something about drunk driver? I want to know what happen when you report a drunk driver, but maybe he/she wasn't drunk. But the thing that I really want to know is what happen when you report a drunk driver, what do the cops do, or what are the consequences. and another thing that want to know is what happen if there was a mistake when a person report a drunk driver but didn't see him really well, so maybe she made a mistake. Can you answer me this question please?

It depends on the driver. If you falsely report someone, you probably won't get into any trouble. Driving recklessly is a crime. It's better to report then not. ]
The officer will determine if a person is drunk or not after making the traffic stop. Before making the stop the Officer does observe the persons driving as they need more than your word to make the stop; they need personal,observation. If the person is drunk they will make an arrests. From there it becomes a for the courts.
If the person is not drunk or under the influence of drugs the officer will inquire if the driver is in ill health or overly tired an should not be driving. If the person is sick medical help will be summoned. If the person is just tired the officer will most likely direct the driver to a motel or a rest area to take a nap.
If nothing can be found to be wrong the officer apologizes for the stop and sends the person on their way. At no time are you mentioned or are you in any trouble for making the report. The police prefer that suspected drunk driver be reported than not and then have to respond to a traffic accident caused by that driver. ]
